Our friend and frequent contributor Archbishop Charles Chaput will be speaking at this year’s meeting of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars. The group, whose membership includes several members of First Things ’ board, is meeting in Baltimore from September 24th to 26th. The theme is “Catholicism in America.”
The group was founded about thirty years ago as a faithful alternative to all the dissenting groups, to gather scholars who saw traditional Catholicism as an aid to thinking well and not an impediment. Here’s their history .
Update : Since I mention him, here are the four most recent “On the Square” articles by the archbishop: Fire on the Earth , Glorify God by Your Life , Suing the Church , and The Captivity of “Catholic” Witness .
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.
