Living Church

The Editor of The Christian Science Monitor talks about its mission; how Mary Baker Eddy treated antagonistic journalists at one time; and how each of us—whether readers, journalists, or lawmakers—can follow Mrs. Eddy’s example and the example Jesus gives in the parable of the good Samaritan with regard to how we think and pray about the news, newsmakers, and journalists, and how we think and pray regarding people who may have very different views.
