Of interest to some of you: the Patterson Triennial Conference for the Orthodox-Roman Catholic Dialogue, titled Orthodox Constructions of the West . It is being held at Fordham University in the Bronx from June 28th to 30th. The first conference was held in 2007, and the papers are being published by St. Vladimir’s Press as Orthodox Readings of St. Augustine .
Those interested will want to read the abstract , which may annoy some Orthodox in its somewhat sweeping description. I would have put “some” before “Orthodox” in the sentence “The ‘West,’ thus, represents a cluster of theological, cultural and political ideas against which Orthodox self-identify,” for example.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
