Every week, First Things receives press releases about events that our readers might find of interest. In the past, we’ve uploaded individual posts about some of these events, but we’ve decided to consolidate this information into one post every Friday. So check back each Friday for notices about more exciting events. In the meantime, enjoy these fine offerings:
