Dear Reader,
 
This morning, I put your 2023 Year-End Campaign letter in the mail. In it, I request your special first gift to FIRST THINGS by December 31 at 11:59 p.m. (I also included your very own FIRST THINGS bookmark!)

In other words, the 2023 Year-End Campaign is now live. If you would like to get an early jump on your year-end giving—or join our donor webinar next Tuesday with Fran Maier and Aaron Renn—make your tax-deductible gift at firstthings.com/donate.

For this year’s campaign, my colleagues and I have chosen to emphasize the theme of trusted partnership.

FIRST THINGS has earned its audience by refusing to capitulate one inch to the sexual revolution and its many bitter fruits. You have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us amidst public opprobrium and cancellation attempts. Thank you.

But you and I do not return bitterness with more bitterness. Together, we are championing the enduring and highest truths, as well as a positive, compelling vision of a virtuous and flourishing society.

As more and more institutions and publications stray from the path of truth, the voice of FIRST THINGS becomes more indispensable.

If FIRST THINGS is a trusted partner for you, please become a trusted partner for us and for many other religious believers by contributing to the 2023 FIRST THINGS Year-End Campaign.

Faithfully,

R. R. Reno
Editor
