Thank you so much for your interest in Commonweal's Conversation Starter Series (CSS). As a participant of the  Praxis of Encounter conference in San Francisco, we are happy to supply you with a complimentary copy of this year’s 2024-2025 Conversation Starter Series. The CSS is an annual discussion resource ideal for fostering thoughtful dialogue in your parish, classroom, or book club. Adaptable for both virtual and in-person conversation, the CSS is available for download in a PDF format so that you share this resource right away.

Curated and written by Commonweal's editors and writers, each of the eight topics in this annual series includes:

• An introduction to a topic's history and current relevance
• Reading materials to deepen familiarity with the topic
• Discussion questions to help you unpack the readings
• Suggestions for further reading if the group—or an individual—is inclined
