This week's issue June 1, 2026 Next week’s issue is available

From the Editors

We’ve heard your concerns about issue dates on the Sentinel website and about late-arriving print issues of the Sentinel and The Christian Science Journal. You’re receiving this second notice about the June 1 Sentinel because we have some happy news to deliver. Over the summer, we will be transitioning back to our previous delivery timelines. This week marks the beginning of that transition.

Starting today, the Sentinel homepage will display this week’s issue instead of next week’s. And by August, both periodicals should arrive in the mail before their cover dates, assuming no postal delays.

In the meantime, have you ever asked yourself, “What does the President of The Mother Church do?” Check out this video with Josh Niles, the outgoing President, filmed at a recent summit held in Montevideo, Uruguay. Thank you for your good work, Josh!
