A Letter from Rusty

Dear Readers, Supporters, and Friends,

There’s still time to contribute to the mission of First Things.

We’ve had a good spring campaign. I’ll write again next week, when we know the final results. Meanwhile, let’s not let others carry all the water. Serious conversation and the freedom to speak about fundamental truths characterize the First Things community. Another admirable feature is the generosity of so many readers of our website and magazine.

Please join the merry band of First Things supporters! I’m one as well. It’s only fair that I put my money where my pen is, as it were.

Thanks to all who have contributed. Thanks as well to everyone who is a reader. We’re in a tough spot in today’s culture and politics, and it’s a blessing to be part of such a vital community.

Yours,
Rusty Reno
