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 17, 2025 Outlines of new global security leadership

Israel and Iran are now at war. So are Russia and Ukraine. When Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney opened the G7 summit on Monday, he told his fellow democratic leaders, “We’re gathering at one of those turning points in history.” That resonates in Europe. In a meeting of security experts in Paris last week, a consensus emerged that while unity with the Trump administration is essential, relying on Washington as a partner in peace is no longer possible. Yet out of that uncertainty, the leaders of Germany, France, Britain, Italy, and Canada are taking on more responsibility for their own shared security – and perhaps beyond.
