Comment Suppers

A magazine at its heart is an aspirational community. But so often we read something, put it down, and move on. What if we could linger a little longer in the company of others whose distinct lens on the mosaic could enrich our own?

As much as hospitality—both intellectual and institutional—is part of Comment’s DNA, we’d like to nudge you, dear reader, to spark a similar spirit of trust in your own community. You could start a supper club in your neighbourhood, a discussion series in your workplace, a themed exploration in your church small group, or simply host a one-table conversation at home or in a restaurant for a meaningful gathering of faith seeking understanding.

Our goal is to awaken you to the deeply human questions that stir imagination and help bridge the gap between your agency and the varied currents of our time. We also believe in the grace of friendship, the Christian conviction that truth is never transmitted by words alone. The truths we explore in pages and podcasts are somehow alive, alive in people, perfected in a Person. Comment magazine—and the common good we’re trying to cultivate—is best enjoyed in the relational encounter.

So please invite a group of six to ten people to share a meal around the theme of our latest issue. You’ll find discussion prompts, a recipe, and a playlist to help you create an atmosphere where conversation—perhaps even communion—might just replenish your hope.
