It’s not the ugliest church in the world, Saints Peter and Paul in Pierre, South Dakota:
which we saw this weekend, while visiting my grandmother in Pierre.
Then again, it’s not the prettiest church, either, and every time we drive by, my wife asks how come only St. Peter gets a statue when the name of the church is Peter and Paul.
Prairie church architecture in its standard-issue modern style. Lord help us.
But a very successful church, nonetheless: expanded yet again on every visit we make to Pierre.
Wanna start collecting pictures of ugly and pretty churches with me, Sally? We can have a contest. With a prize awarded to the winners.
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.
