Especially if that magazine is published by an Anabaptist community that originated in a back-to-the-land movement and still has the whiff of hayfield and woodlot to it. Why not stick to what you're good at? Why jump lanes? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBecause the future of humanity, pretty clearly, is urban.\u003c\/b\u003e Urbanization is arguably the biggest change of habitat our species has ever undergone. For anyone who cares about the common good of humanity, then, cities need to matter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe modern city is an electrifying concentration \u003c\/b\u003eof creativity, energy, and cultural dynamism. It's also still the \"cauldron of unholy loves\" that Saint Augustine discovered in Carthage one and a half millennia ago. It's the place where the cruelties of mammon, the hubris of power, and the perversions of lust manifest themselves most crassly. But cities have also given birth to culture and community and to remarkable movements of revival and renewal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn this issue, visit: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Belfast with Jenny McCartney\u003cbr\u003e- New York City with James Macklin\u003cbr\u003e- Medell n with Adriano Cirino \u003cbr\u003e- Pittsburgh with Brandon McGinley\u003cbr\u003e- Guatemala City with Jos  Corpas\u003cbr\u003e- Philadelphia with Clare Coffey\u003cbr\u003e- Chicago with John Thornton Jr. \u003cbr\u003e- Paris with Jason Landsel \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou'll also find: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Insights on cities from Jane Jacobs, Eberhard Arnold, Augustine, and Philip Britts\u003cbr\u003e- reviews of books by Jonathan Foiles, Bethany McKinney Fox, J.
