Happy Gratitude Tuesday from FIRST THINGS!


Dear
Reader,
Giving Tuesday is now ten years old. Many organizations have launched one-day giving challenges. I encourage you to participate as you feel called.

Our goal for today, however, is not a number. Instead, we have dedicated today to expressing our gratitude to you for your readership and support.

This morning, we published a reflection from theologian Hans Boersma on the nature and responsibilities of gratitude. He expounds on this meditation further in the short video above. Visit our Twitter ([link removed]) and Facebook ([link removed]) pages for more about our Gratitude Tuesday efforts.

To our readers: Thank you for the time you have devoted to reading FIRST THINGS, for sharing it with family and friends, and for passing along words of encouragement (and critique, where warranted!). Thank you as well to our Reader of FIRST THINGS (ROFTers) group leaders for working tirelessly to foster discussion and community among local readers of the magazine.

To our charitable supporters: Thank you for making the FIRST THINGS enterprise possible through your generosity. Thank you as well for challenging us to consider fresh approaches and new ideas. Thank you for strengthening and advancing this crucial voice in a time of excessive noise.

Rest assured, you will be hearing from us soon about our year-end campaign and your role in it. But for today, please accept our small gesture of gratitude to you for being the beating heart of FIRST THINGS magazine.
With gratitude,
Carter Skeel
Director of Development
