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.

What Finns know about security
Clayton Collins
Welcome to your second Saturday Daily.
Mark Sappenfield, our former editor turned Europe-roaming big thinker, delivers our lean-back read today. Everyday Finns are effectively shoring up an 800-mile border that’s long been a focus but that is of special concern today, given the apparent appetite of the Russian bear next door. It’s about much more than paramilitary prep work. It’s a transformative and deeply felt approach to security, with roots in agency and trust.
We’ve also got you covered with summer mystery reads and an essayist’s adventure with backyard birds .
