Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats have succeeded in passing a bill that protects the right to perform ritual circumcisions . Yet it was not a unanimous victory: 434 of the Bundestag’s members voted in favor, one-hundred against, with forty-six abstaining. The opponents—-members of the Left Party, Social Democrats, and Greens—-had put forward an alternate bill that would have made male circumcisions illegal until age fourteen.
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.
