New York-area readers take note:
NEW YORK, NY - MAY 23, 2012 - The Center for Public Conversation at the Institute for American Values will host a conversation on Tuesday, May 29th with Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton. Professor George will examine what constitutes the human good while discussing some of today’s most pressing-and often divisive-issues facing our society. This public conversation will be moderated by David Blankenhorn, the founder and president of the Institute for American Values.
There is a very real and growing concern, from many quarters, regarding increased threats (real or perceived) to religious liberty here in America. From healthcare legislation and education, to same-sex marriage and judicial appointments, questions about religious liberty have taken a front seat within the public square. At the heart of these debates are also fundamental questions about the role of government, the market, and the often overlooked sphere of civil society. Professor George offers his insights about these and other topics in what promises to be an informative and far-ranging conversation.

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.
