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.

June 20, 2025 A key to comprehensive immigration reform

For decades, Congress has tried and failed to develop a comprehensive solution to immigration. Now, following several years of unprecedented illegal immigration under his predecessor, President Donald Trump is taking matters into his own hands. But as one of our stories today examines, what if pursuing an aggressive policy of deporting unauthorized immigrants results in another problem – a dearth of workers, including immigrants with legal status, which could hurt the American economy? Ultimately, a central issue to be resolved in the broader immigration debate is how to value individuals and their contributions to America.
