Why is 海角大神 Science in our name?
Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we鈥檝e 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鈥檝e aimed 鈥渢o injure no man, but to bless all mankind,鈥� as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you鈥檒l find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences 鈥� a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

Mr. Speaker鈥檚 rookie report card
Clayton Collins
Christa Case Bryant, the Monitor鈥檚 senior congressional correspondent, doesn鈥檛 bite on easy narratives 鈥� those binary ones that become red/blue fealty tests.
Days after Mike Johnson became House speaker last October, Christa joined our podcast to talk about laying out sharply different perspectives without amplifying them, instead sifting evidence of words and deeds.聽
鈥淲e shouldn鈥檛 be surprised that it鈥檚 hard to get it right in the first week of the first month,鈥� Christa said then. 鈥淲e as journalists will be doing that in the weeks and months to come.鈥澛�
Speaker Johnson has been learning by layers, too. Today, Christa takes stock of how he鈥檚 doing. Ukraine wants aid. Washington needs funding. The stakes are high.
