“FIRST THINGS, by precept and example, in content and in ethos, shows that those across the orthodox spectrum can make thoughtful common cause against the dehumanizing spirit of the age, even in these fractious times.”
—Archbishop Charles J. Chaput and Carl R. Trueman
Dear
Reader,
Making thoughtful common cause against the dehumanizing spirit of this present age.

What a wonderful rallying cry for readers of FIRST THINGS.

Having met many of you over the years, I’d add a second adjective: thoughtful and joyful common cause.

The transcendent horizon of religious faith creates merry warriors—readers like you who are soberminded about the problems of the present yet confident in our ultimate future.

Today, I’m asking you to strengthen our common cause by making a tax-deductible gift in support of the 2023 FIRST THINGS Fall Appeal.

With five days left, the Appeal stands $XX,XXX short of its $200,000 goal. Give today at firstthings.com/FallAppeal or using the button below. ([link removed])

The public lectures, Intellectual Retreats, and Readers of FIRST THINGS (ROFTers) groups that comprise our reader programs strike a similar tone: serious in substance and joyful in fellowship.

Your Fall Appeal support will bring more readers of FIRST THINGS together, making possible more reader programs and ROFTers groups in cities and towns around the country.

Please give now to strengthen the rich intellectual ecosystem that FIRST THINGS sustains through, with, and for readers like you ([link removed]) .
