Dear Reader,

It is my privilege to share with you our 2021 Annual Report. For a hard copy of the report, please email us at [email protected]. 

A few highlights: 

• We resumed in-person events with our August Intellectual Retreat on “Solidarity.”
• We hosted the 34^th Annual Erasmus Lecture with Wilfred M. McClay on “The Claims of Memory,” an excerpt of which is published inside. 
• Our Editor’s Circle grew by nearly one hundred members.
• We reached 30,000 subscribers. 
• We published 423 web-exclusive articles on firstthings.com, which garnered 3.46 million unique visitors and 9.69 million page views. 

Thank you for standing with First Things. If you value the work we do to amplify religious voices in the public square, I hope you’ll consider making a tax-deductible gift today.
