Why is Christian Science in our name?
Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

Welcome to a new week. The Trump administration is pushing to secure a full Israel-Hamas peace deal, with Vice President JD Vance reportedly arriving in Israel on Tuesday.
Also on Tuesday, Japan is poised to elect its first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, a fan of Margaret Thatcher.
And in the United States, the government shutdown enters its fourth week. Among the issues at stake: Affordable Care Act subsidies, which go to 20 million people, are set to expire at the end of the year.
