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.

Setting high standards, from education to diplomacy
Christa Case Bryant
Today鈥檚 editorial highlights the success that comes when teachers and parents set high standards for students, challenging them to grow. A piece from Mark Sappenfield, pegged to bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor winning her first Olympic gold in five Winter Games, challenges the notion of age as a limiting factor. And diplomats are trying to resolve conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, and the United States and Iran.
It鈥檚 an interesting thought exercise to adapt a line quoted in the editorial: 鈥淗aving high expectations means we believe all students [and athletes, citizens, and diplomats] can learn at exceedingly high levels.鈥� This, in turn, 鈥渋nstills the confidence and agency ... to strive.鈥�
