I’m in the slightly uncomfortable position of pointing this morning to the new “On the Square” without being able to use the word “commend,” since I wrote it. (My parents were big on “Don’t point to yourself” and the lesson stuck.) So: please read Spirituality Without Spirits .

I’d be particularly interested in the thoughts of anyone who thinks there is something to be said for this kind of “spirituality.” I haven’t a “spiritual” bone in my body, and wonder if I’m being unfair to people who, however muddled their statements, really do feel and see something good. The odds are against it, but it’s possible.

Dear Reader,

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.
