In today’s On the Square , Mark Tooley discusses an Anglican priest who has decided that it’s perfectly appropriate to compare environmental issues to the Holocaust:
The priest recalls the Garden of Righteous Gentiles in Israel that honors ten Boom, Schindler, and others who risked themselves to save Jews from the Holocaust. He can “picture another sacred memorial, one that God is planning for those non-apathetic bystanders of his creation” to be called “The Garden of Righteous Stewards Among the Nations.”

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.
