Dear Reader, 

I am proud to share with you the First Things 2019 annual report. See the whole thing online here.

Inside you will find:

• messages from our editors
• highlights from the past year’s events
• an excerpt from last year’s most popular article
• web statistics, and more

Reviewing the annual report every year reminds me of the strength of the First Things community. Our readers and supporters gather from all over the country for our annual Erasmus Lecture and Intellectual Retreats. Our events, whether in Dallas, Los Angeles, Knoxville, or D.C., draw eager crowds. Thousands subscribe to the magazine and millions visit our website. 

As you read through the report I hope you will take pride in what we accomplished in 2019.  

First Things is an indispensable voice. As we seek to expand our public witness in 2020, we need the continued generosity of readers like you. Please consider supporting First Things with a donation today.
