Dear Reader,

I’m writing to you with a final reminder about the 2024 FIRST THINGS Intellectual Retreat on “Faith and Civic Responsibility,” which will take place on August 9-10 at the Union League Club of New York.

Registration will close on Monday, August 5 at 11:59 p.m. so that we can finalize our seminar groupings and instructor assignments.

Visit firstthings.com/retreat or click on the button below to reserve your spot before it’s too late!

Beyond the bread and butter of our Intellectual Retreats—the small, instructor-led discussions of great texts with your fellow readers—highlights of next weekend’s retreat include:

• A Friday lecture by National Civic Art Society president Justin Shubow on “Citizenship and Public Architecture”

  
  

• A Saturday panel on “Faith, Civic Responsibility, and the 2024 Election” with Compact editor Sohrab Ahmari and FIRST THINGS editors R. R. Reno and Mark Bauerlein

It promises to be an unforgettable weekend. Register now before it’s too late!

Yours,

R. R. Reno

Editor
