In this Comment, we ask you to read along with others, to consider the big questions others have asked, and to open...

Until January 1, 2008, our print and online content was virtually identical. Since that date, Comment Online has published an entirely distinct content line.
Visit the archive dashboard here. From there, search by title keyword, by author, by article type, or by year.
Currently, our online archive includes all online-only articles, and all print article texts from 2005 to 2007. In the future, the online archive will stretch both forward (to include current print issue texts) and backward (to 1983!).
All interested writers are invited to submit article ideas or abstracts to comment@cardus.ca. We promise to read every submission under one hundred (100) words; any more than that, and you're taking your chances it slides off the pile. Comment retains complete discretion to publish or not publish submitted works. If published, authors will be reimbursed $50.00 CDN within 30 days of the publication date. Please note that Comment publishes only original works; no previously-published works, please.
Contact Dan Postma, Managing Editor with your query: dpostma@cardus.ca.
Comment shares all republishing rights with our authors, and we forward all reprint requests directly to our authors. We ask that reprints not occur within 90 days of publication by Comment. For more details, email Dan Postma, Managing Editor: dpostma@cardus.ca.
Comment is happy to profile emerging and established artists each work in its 1,000 Words section. Artists interested in exposure are welcome to submit the following items to Dan Postma, Managing Editor: dpostma@cardus.ca.
(1) A high quality digital image of your choice. Make sure the image is 200 dpi or greater.
(2) A paragraph or two about the artwork (approx. 100 words), including a specific description of its medium, its formal title, and its release year.
(3) A paragraph or two about yourself (approx. 100 words), including a portfolio link if you have one ready.
(4) A high quality photography of yourself, for our Contributors section.
(5) Explicit written permission to publish your artwork.
(6) Your full mailing address and phone numbers - not for publication, only for our records.
Submissions will be assessed by Comment's art jury for quality and completeness, and accepted pieces will be posted online, one per week, at cardus.ca/comment. Comment will contact all submitting artists regardless of outcome.
Comment seek to equip and encourage the next generation of cultural leaders - the artists, business people, politicians and city-shapers of 2031, if you will - by showing ways of living with wonder, heartbreak and hope in God's world.
Comment aspires to honest, humble thought; clear, simple writing; and courteous, civil dialogue. Comment does not aspire to trendiness, but rather to serious reasoning underpinned by a Biblical view of the world. As an opinion journal, Comment also does not publish unbiased journalistic reporting, but does seek thoughtful, honest discussion. For much more on how and why we do Comment, read our 2008 Comment Manifesto online, or download it in PDF.
Comment is published by Cardus, a non-profit public policy think tank based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Cardus focuses on the long-term concerns of society, bridging the world of ideas with the common good. Comment is also in publishing partnerships with three external organizations: the Center for Faith and Work at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC; the Washington Institute for Faith, Culture and Vocation at the Falls Church in Virginia; and the De Pree Leadership Center at Fuller Seminary in California.
The Cardus was an ancient north-south road that connected the people of Roman cities to their major public spaces. On the Cardus or Cardo Maximus governments, markets, temples and more lived and worked to build a common life for the good of the city.
Cardus was incorporated under the former name "Foundation for Research and Education in Developing a Christian Approach to Industrial Relations and Economics" (really!) in September, 1974. Comment was published as a 8.5x11 newsletter starting in January, 1983, under the editorial direction of Harry Antonides. After a brief hiatus in the early 2000s, Comment re-emerged in its current form (perfect bound book, 7"x10") in August 2005.
Comment does not actively solicit advertising, but is receptive to specific requests from reputable organizations. Contact Dan Postma, Managing Editor, for more information: dpostma@cardus.ca.
