It’s Tuesday! Otherwise known as . . . Black Tuesday . Moving on.
At Postmodern Conservative , Peter Lawler talks about the decline of the Magnolia Meat Market .
Maureen Mullarkey doesn’t pray for the conversion of artists .
Peter Leithart writes on discriminating love. He’s also returned to Agamben’s book, bringing Cicero and Seneca into the conversation.
Here at First Thoughts , Leroy Huizenga highlights Cardinal Dolan’s speech at the Diocese of Bismarck.
And On the Square today, we have two posts on the state of the church community: James R. Rogers’ “Ecclesiastical Exceptionalism” and Mark Tooley’s “Methodism Today and Tomorrow.”
And, last but not least, check out junior fellow Tristyn K. Bloom’s article over at The Federalist , “The Surprising Ingredient To Creating A Pro-Life Culture.”
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.
