Dear Reader,

Remember that one FIRST THINGS piece you just couldn’t stand? It was probably commissioned by me.

I don’t know which one exactly; I’m playing the odds here. But it’s equally likely I commissioned one (or more!) cherish.

You’re hearing from me today with a invitation to commission the next great piece in FIRST THINGS.

The charitable support of readers like you enables FIRST THINGS to uphold the highest editorial standard and to publish the best faith-informed commentary on religion, culture, and politics there is.

I’m grateful to work for a magazine that recognizes the value of intelligent and purposeful provocation. At its best, the frisson that comes with testing new ideas clarifies and deepens our love of the permanent things.

I’m equally grateful to readers like you for standing with FIRST THINGS even when we publish articles you disagree with. Please know that my colleagues and I do not take your commitment to FIRST THINGS for granted.

Our cultural moment affords ample opportunities for itching ears to find the easy, comfortable affirmation they seek. But you continue to stand with FIRST THINGS—thank you.

This requires a high level of mutual trust: Your trust in our commitment to the principles we share, and our trust in your willingness to be challenged and sharpened.

I’m writing to you today with an invitation to build upon this foundation of trust—namely, to trust FIRST THINGS to be good stewards of your charitable gift.

So I ask: Will you entrust FIRST THINGS with a Spring Campaign gift today?

With gratitude,

Justin Lee
