Coffee and Dessert // Table Talk

“All great change begins at the dinner table.” 
(Ronald Reagan)

Isn’t it uncanny how often significant conversations begin while seated around a table? Be they first coffee dates, university discussion groups, Sunday family lunches, funny stories shared around a campfire, or the significance of the wedding banquet across cultures worldwide, conversation grows relational connection, often facilitated by the sharing of food and drink. How can you begin a weekly practice of curated, intentional conversations, seated around a table of your choosing?

Here are a few questions to kickstart your conversation:


  • What insight struck you from reading the essay introducing Ordinary Time, “Conscious Partial Attention?”
  • How has technological creep influenced your life and relationships?
  • Describe your current practice and frequency in sharing meals with family and friends. How do you wish it was different?
  • Why do you think God’s first words to human beings concerned the communal sharing of food around a table? (see Genesis 2:8-18)
