Breeders: A Subclass of Women
June 18
Breeders, a film by the Center for Ethics and Culture, investigates the growing practice of surrogacy: “Surrogacy is fast becoming one of the major issues of the 21st century—celebrities and everyday people are increasingly using surrogates to build their families. But the practice is fraught with complex implications for women, children, and families. What is the impact on the women who serve as surrogates and on the children who are born from surrogacy?” See this flyer for more information.

Dietrich von Hildebrand and the Philosophy of Value: A graduate-student seminar
June 30–July 3
Franciscan University of Steubenville invites graduate students to apply to join John F. Crosby and Jonathan Sanford for a seminar this summer on von Hildebrand and questions of value: “What is the relationship between good and value? Are they sympathetic or antagonistic? Is value nothing more than a subjectivistic corruption of good, or does it deepen and refine our understanding of good?” Visit the seminar’s Facebook page, or apply via the Dietrich von Hildebranch Legacy Project website.
We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
