This is a great picture published in the UK’s Daily Mail memorializing a meeting between the world’s tallest and shortest men. It’s a hoot. And it got me to thinking about the wonderful diversity of our species.
Bao Xishun is 7 ft. 9 in., while Pingping is 2 ft. 4 in. Because we generally don’t measure moral value by stature (at least, not any more), I doubt whether anyone would dispute that both Misters Xixhun and Pingping are equally human beings possessed of equal moral worth. Would that all humans—regardless of their “attributes or capacities” were so perceived.
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.
