WHO’S YOUR DADDY?: Tomorrow evening (Thursday), I’ll be speaking at a Heritage Foundation panel on contemporary fatherhood. It’ll be Pat Fagan on how fathers shape their children’s future relationships, Brad Wilcox on his 2004 Soft Patriarchs, New Men: How Christianity Shapes Fathers and Husbands, and me on “how marriage makes men.” The panel starts at six, in the Lehman Auditorium of the Heritage Foundation, 214 Massachusetts Ave NE, and it’s free and open to the public. (Heritage is at Union Station metro, right on Capitol Hill. So convenient!) After the panel and audience q & a, THERE WILL BE FREE FOOD!, so you really have no reason not to go. RSVP to me if you can, just so we get a decent head count, but if you just want to show up that’s cool too.

(Oh, and I have a “briefly noted” book review in the new First Things–reviewing Minna Proctor’s Do You Hear What I Hear?: Religious Calling, the Priesthood, and My Father. Speaking of fathers.)
