A little late, but today’s “On the Square” column, The Reasons the Heart Wants , takes up the now somewhat fashionable dismissal of apologetic writing as ineffective, divisive, and the like. This seems to me a great mistake and a practical failure in charity, based on a simplified view of how people come to believe.
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.
