We are pleased to announce that we have hired Anthony Sacramone to be the new Managing Editor for First Things , beginning May 30.
An editor with long experience as copy chief, proofreader, and managing editor in the publishing world, from Biography and Reader’s Digest to Beliefnet and Discover , Anthony brings great technical gifts to the magazine. More, a Missouri Synod Lutheran, he has been a subscriber to First Things since the magazine was founded, and he is enthusiastic and committed to the magazine’s projects. We will miss our previous Managing Editor, Erik Ross, who has left for Poland to try his vocation as a Dominican, and we’re grateful that Anthony has stepped in to fill the gap.
Our thanks go out as well to all the many fine candidates who applied for the managing editorship. It’s humbling to learn the high regard with which so many hold First Things and its work.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
