Tomorrow, our friends at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and at Front Porch Republic are co-sponsoring a conference at Mt. St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD.
“Human Scale and the Human Good: Creating Healthy Communities in a Global Age” will explore the impact of globalization on communities, the relationship of scale to human flourishing, and the ways that a Liberal Arts education prepares students to think about the social order. The list of speakers are Philip Bess, Allan C. Carlson, David Cloutier, Patrick Deneen, Rod Dreher, Josh Hochschild, Bill Kaufman, Mark Mitchell, Jason Peters, Christine Rosen, John Schwenkler, Caleb Stegall, and Will Morrow.

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
