This weekend, December 13-14 at the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome, the Religious Freedom Project of Georgetown University’s Berkley Center is hosting a conference on ” Christianity and Freedom: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives .” I will serve on two panels myself on Saturday, and am proud to be a member of the steering committee that has planned this important international conference, chaired by Timothy Shah of Georgetown and Allen Hertzke of the University of Oklahoma. The proceedings of the conference will be live-streamed online at this link , and video will be accessible at that link afterward as well. Luminaries such as Rémi Brague, Kenneth Starr, Robert Louis Wilken, John Witte, Thomas Farr, Marcello Pera, Paul Marshall, David Novak, and many others will be participating in the conference. Tune in if you can!
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.
