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.

Peering into the future with tech-tinted glasses
Christa Case Bryant
Middle East mediators are working to coax Iranian and American officials to the negotiating table in Turkey this week in a bid聽to avert further escalation. The Trump administration聽has moved a 鈥渕assive armada鈥� into the Persian Gulf, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and at least 10 warships, which the president compared to the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean聽ahead of a strike on Venezuela last month.
Meanwhile, closer to home, our reporter Laurent Belsie puts on a pair of smart glasses and goes in search of a new perspective. 鈥淚 am peering, I think, into the future,鈥� he writes. The tech has some glitches, but 鈥淚 love the promise.鈥�
