We’re excited to announce that our friend and contributing writer Elizabeth Scalia has taken a job as the Managing Editor of the Catholic Portal at Patheos . Sadly, it also means that her blog, The Anchoress, has moved to Patheos too. The new address is http://www.patheos.com/community/theanchoress/ .
We’ve appreciated having the opportunity to host The Anchoress and look forward to continue reading it at the new site. While its hard to see it go, Patheos is a great Web site and Elizabeth’s blog will make a fine addition to their content offerings.
Fortunately, Elizabeth will continue to write her weekly On the Square column for First Things . Be sure to check it out every Tuesday. But in the meantime, drop over to Elizabeth’s new blog location and wish her well.
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.
