If they can be found anywhere, it’s certainly in Provo. Our own Ralph Hancock, in conjunction with the brand new John Adams Center , is hosting a conference entitled God and Human Rights: Are Faith or Foundations Necessary ? The conference will run events at both BYU and Utah Valley University and feature the formidable David Walsh, Ralph, yours truly, and others speaking on a wide range of subjects April 12-14. If you follow the link above you’ll find a full description of the conference program. If you happen to be passing through Provo, it would be a shame to miss what promises to be a great event. Also, if you click on the YouTube link on the center’s website you can watch videos of previous events which include lectures by Peter Lawler and Dan Mahoney.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
