I know we're supposed to be slow to anger, which is a good and wise (not to mention inspired) instruction, but there are some things we perhaps should not be slow about. One of them is "ask and you shall receive" and to make our needs known. The staff here prays at the beginning of each day for wisdom and the Lord's guidance in our work, and regularly for the financial resources that we need to carry on the work.
Word now is rumbling through various non-profit ministries about a sharp downturn in donations this year.
So, perhaps I've not been keeping on my toes, but the time has come, since our income is clearly down, and if this current trend continues at all we will be hurting, that I approach all of our readers with a earnest request to help us at this time with the most generous contribution you can make, securely, on-line here.
I do have one resource on hand that I do not have to spend money for at this point, so I can gladly share with you a signed copy of our wonderful and edifying book, Creed & Culture: A Touchstone Reader, for any gifts over $75. We have copies on hand.
I quote The Weekly Standard on Creed and Culture: "Readers who like their coffee strong (and who are interested in literature, theology, ecclesiology, and ecumenism) will love Creed & Culture."
If you'd prefer one of our Touchstone Caffeinated Christianity Coffee Mugs, I can do that too (we'll send you an e-mail asking your preference.)
I wouldn't write this now if I weren't increasingly concerned about our ability to continue paying our bills and publishing, that maybe I've waited too long. As you can see from our donation information box at the top of our MC web page, we've a ways to go to acheive our necessary goal. (Clicking on that box will also get you to our donation page.) Every bit helps! Thank you!
