Dear Reader,

As we approach the June 30 deadline of our Spring Campaign ([link removed]) , I want to share with you a thought a friend of the magazine told me recently.

FIRST THINGS, unlike the monocultures at elite universities, is a community of readers exhibiting genuine diversity when it comes to intellectual, religious, and vocational commitments. Our subscribers include Christians, Jews, and Muslims. I’d venture that we have Republicans and Democrats, perhaps even monarchists and socialists in the mix.

What unites our readers is seeking perspectives informed by permanent truths, and a conviction that serving God is our highest calling—even as we dispute with each other about how to do so!

This is what makes our publication such an important supplement to one’s faith and education. And it is why the ever-loyal FIRST THINGS readership (for which I am ever grateful) has contributed just over $400,000 to our Spring Campaign thus far.

Reader—our effort to raise $500,000 before June 30 will help sustain FIRST THINGS in the year ahead ([link removed]) . Can I count on you to join their ranks?

In a time of metaphysical impoverishment, FIRST THINGS has the ear of those who, like you, seek the good, true, and beautiful. We have an important task before us: to advance a positive, compelling vision for the flourishing of American society and a robust role for religion in the public square.

Time is short. The task ahead is great. I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,
R. R. Reno
