“The purpose of the kitchen was not, as I had feared, the ego of the chef or even the perfection of the food. It was to nourish the guest, to honour the fleeting evening, and to bear witness to a life that is at once sensuous and sacred.” Gregory Thompson on cooking, hospitality, and the life of the table. https://bit.ly/3TGv7Wl

About us
Comment is one of the core publications of Cardus, a think tank devoted to renewing North American social architecture, rooted in 2000 years of Christian social thought. In our print and online essays and reviews we zoom in on the multiple components that make up this “social architecture”: the institutions that serve as the scaffolding and skeleton of social life. It’s our families and financial systems, politics and education, museums and labour unions, and much more.

Its practice teaches that meaning emerges not through mastering the world but through learning to be addressed by it in the name of God.” https://bit.ly/3TZyUOA
