Happy birthday to us!

It was on October 31, 2011 that The Twelve slipped on to the web, without much fanfare or introduction. The first post was Jeff Munroe’s “Do Calvinists Believe in Luck.”

Over the past four years we’ve grown into the juggernaut we are today. Kidding aside, consistently pretty good content has appeared every day, day after day, for four years now.

We’re going to be brazen and pushy and very un-Reformed, and ask you for a birthday gift today. You know our story—all volunteer, shoestring budgets, but still with some costs. We would truly appreciate a little financial support from you as a token of thanks, a birthday gift from you to us.

The Twelve and Perspectives are a little like public radio and TV. Our fundraising efforts are low-key, brief, and probably too passive. It is easy to ignore them and know that there won’t be big consequences. A new blog will still appear today. Nonetheless, we appeal to your generosity and gratitude. Please help us celebrate four years by making a gift today.
