Ever wanted to discuss the articles that appear in First Things with other readers of the magazine? Looking for people in your area who share your interest in religion and public life? If so, we encourage you to check out our ROFTERS page.

ROFTERS are “Readers Of First Things” who wish to convene discussion circles based on the magazine. The groups are entirely independent and self-organized, and it is up to the convener to determine where and how often the group meets. The newest fledgling group is in the East Valley of Phoenix; other locations include thirty-some states, Canada, Spain, and the U.K.

If you would like to join a ROFTERS group, please contact the organizers. If you would like to start a branch in your area, or if you need to update or remove your group information, please contact us at ft@firstthings.com. We’re grateful for your support!
