So, if you look up higher on this page, you’ll see that First Things is beginning its search for next year’s Junior Fellows .
Want to apply? These are one- or two-year internships for young writers and scholars interested in religion and public life. The positions offer the opportunity to participate in the magazine’s writing and production; the theological and political discussions the magazine sponsors; and the religious, cultural, and intellectual events that cluster around First Things in New York City. The positions include free housing and a modest stipend. Click here for information on how to apply .
Over the last few years, we’ve had astonishing success finding impressive young people to fill these position: Mary Ruiz , Ryan T. Anderson , Jordan Hylden , and John Rose , for instance. Or this year’s latest fellows: Nathaniel Peters , and Amanda Shaw . Come on in. The water’s fine.
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.
