The Supreme Court today agreed to hear Town of Greece v. Galloway , a case out of New York in which the Second Circuit held, in an opinion by Judge Guido Calabresi, that the town’s practice of allowing private citizens to open town board meetings with a prayer violates the Establishment Clause. The last legislative prayer case at the high court was thirty years ago. My colleague Marc DeGirolami has the details at the Center for Law and Religion Forum .
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.
