Through the generous support of donors and friends of the magazine, First Things has been able to host a series of weekend retreats focusing on important topics in religion, politics, and culture. Each retreat is composed of a series of seminars on classic texts, flanked by two lectures given by First Things writers.
To date the retreats have been a great success, combining First Things’s mission of educating for the renewal of public life with the equally important project of building community among those committed to this task. Retreat participants consistently express their satisfaction at having found a space where they can discuss issues of fundamental importance frankly and intelligently in a friendly environment. If you would like to be informed of future retreats as they are scheduled, please subscribe to our email newsletter using the form at the bottom of this page.
