ROFTERS stands for Readers Of First Things. The following is a list of ROFTERS who are interested in convening discussion circles based on the magazine. If you would like to join a group, please contact the organizers.

If you would like to start such a group in your area, please send us your contact information. (You can email us at ft@firstthings.com.) ROFTERS groups are entirely independent and self-organized. The convener takes the initiative, and from there on it is up to the group whether to meet monthly or less often; whether to meet in a home, an office, or a church; whether to discuss one article or to take on all the subjects addressed in that month’s issue.
