Shalom

This greeting has been hanging at the front door of every one of the many homes in which Angela and I have lived since our wedding - for almost twenty years, that is. It symbolizes the dream we live together: to seek the shalom - the peace - and the prosperity of the city in which we are called to live. It is a dream we share with people like Katherine Leary and Linnea Leonard Kickasola, both of whom have written about city life in the journal of public opinion I edit.
