We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what?

On Thursday, Microsoft announced it will be releasing a version of its document scanning app, Office Lens, for iOS and Android devices.
