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.

October 22, 2025 From India to Hawaii, stories of adaptation

Adaptation comes to mind when reading today’s package. Highly educated foreign professionals are looking for new shores after the Trump administration raised the fee on the visa that drew them to America. That shift may benefit India, above all, as it strives to keep its best and brightest at home. In Pittsburgh, meanwhile, where steel was king, academics, investors, and public officials are forging a renaissance of innovation and job creation through artificial intelligence. And across the United States, educators are thwarting classroom absenteeism by tying student passions to career pathways. In Hawaii, that means esports. In Nevada, architecture. When motivations are made new, challenges become opportunities.

~

And in the most ambitious renovation at the White House since 1942, President Donald Trump demolishes a portion of the East Wing to begin construction on a cavernous new ballroom.
