More Information

The Christian Science Monitor
The Christian Science Monitor is an international news organization that delivers global coverage via its website, weekly magazine, daily news briefing, email newsletters, Amazon Kindle subscription, and mobile site. It was started in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Despite its name, the Monitor is not a religious-themed paper, and does not promote the doctrine of its patron church. Mrs. Eddy declared that the Monitor's mission should be "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind." The paper has been known for avoiding sensationalism, producing a "distinctive brand of non-hysterical journalism". The Monitor staff members have been the recipients of seven Pulitzer Prizes, the most recent in 2002.

Reading Rooms Worldwide

Picture
You will find almost 1,200 Reading Rooms worldwide that are open to the public. Although each Reading Room is unique, they offer many of the same products and services, as well as an uplifting and welcoming atmosphere. The first Christian Science Reading Room was established in 1888 to make Mary Baker Eddy's seminal book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, available to everyone. That purpose continues today.
