Dear Reader,

We are days from the conclusion of our spring campaign—and on the cusp of reaching our $500,000 goal.
 
If you have yet to make a gift, please support First Things today.
 
While relativism threatens many of the goods around us, faith grounds us in the truth. First Things serves as a signpost for many readers, pointing them towards a fuller understanding of their faith.

A reader wrote to us:

“First Things invited me to better understand and participate in the long tradition of rational thought and discourse underlying Christian belief. This deepens my faith by allowing me to love God with my mind, and not just my heart.”

Our culture may rejoice in the death of moral virtue, but cultivating true virtue with our minds and hearts remains the sacred duty of believers—and of all people of good will. 

First Things will continue to be a place where people of faith can congregate and discuss, reflect and pray. Even as our culture crumbles, we will continue, in hope, to build anew. 

Help us rebuild a culture of faith by making a gift to First Things today.

Sincerely,


R. R. Reno, Editor
First Things
