If you’ll be eating lunch at your desk today, you might enjoy watching one of these videos:
A “Dan Rather Reports” feature on ” Church and State: Separation Anxieties ” includes an hour-long panel discussion with Judge Michael McConnell, Holly Hollman, Prof. Richard Garnett, and Prof. Christopher Eisgruber. Both McConnell and Garnett are contributors to First Things , and you can read Garnett’s review of Eisgruber’s new book on Religious Liberty here . The panel takes place at Princeton University, where Eisgruber serves as provost.
If academics talking constituional law might upset your stomach, you can turn to a journalist talking religion . . . NBC’s Tim Russert discusses his faith (he’s Catholic) and American life here .
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.
