Dear Reader,
Merry Christmas!
On Monday, First Things took its end of year campaign online for a ten-day push to complete our goal of raising $400,000 from our readers by the end of the year. Will you help us reach this goal by making a gift today?
People of faith are feeling the pressure. Believers are in the way of the unrestrained use of reproductive technology, the renting of wombs, and marketing of life’s raw materials. We’re in the way of radical redefinitions of marriage and family. We’re in the way of the sacrifice of society’s weakest members to the failures of our secular culture, which is exactly what is happening as drugs are legalized, gambling expanded, and pornographers protected.
We’re in the way, and there are powerful forces in our society that want to push us to the side.
Well, I say let them push! We are not going to compromise to fit in. We’re not going to trim or adjust. First Things exists to speak clearly about an inconvenient truth—that there is truth.
Your contribution allows us to speak this truth. Will you help us reach our campaign goal by making a contribution today?
With abiding thanks,
R. R. Reno
Editor

First Things does not hesitate to call out what is bad. Today, there is much to call out. Yet our editors, authors, and readers like you share a greater purpose. And we are guided by a deeper, more enduring hope.
Your gift of $50, $100, or even $250 or more will bring this message of hope to many more people in the new year.
