Recorded before a live audience, this episode enters the life and times of Erwin D. Canham, the longest-serving editor of The Christian Science Monitor. Over the past year, The Mary Baker Eddy Library has embarked on an extensive archival project to open Canham’s papers. Massive in size and varied in content, the collection reveals significant moments in Canham’s career, as well as the day-to-day business of running a major international newspaper. Canham’s time as Monitor editor (1941–1964) and editor-in-chief (1964–1974) spanned a period of profound world transformation. This collection provides unique insight into how, as an editor and national thought leader, Canham engaged with the events and issues surrounding World War II, postwar reconstruction and decolonization, McCarthyism, and the social revolutions of the 1960s.

The episode includes answers to questions from the live audience and looks at how Canham brought a spiritual dimension to the Monitor’s journalistic approach.
