The future of humanity is urban.It might seem a bad move for a magazine named after a farm tool to bring out an issue on cities. 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?Because the future of humanity, pretty clearly, is urban. 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.The modern city is an electrifying concentration of 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.In this issue, visit:- Belfast with Jenny McCartney- New York City with James Macklin- Medellín with Adriano Cirino - Pittsburgh with Brandon McGinley- Guatemala City with José Corpas- Philadelphia with Clare Coffey- Chicago with John Thornton Jr. - Paris with Jason LandselYou’ll also find:- Insights on cities from Jane Jacobs, Eberhard Arnold, Augustine, and Philip Britts- reviews of books by Jonathan Foiles, Bethany McKinney Fox, J.

Main Description: This issue opens with the story of Melania and her real estate-magnatehusband, who decide to divest themselves of their entire wealth. These earlyChristians, who sold off their many estates and freed eight thousand slaves,were only exceptional in the amount they gave away. Jesus, after all, hadadvised a rich man, “Go, sell yourpossessions, and give the money to the poor.” And he emphatically warned thatyou cannot serve two masters: you cannot serve God and money. What does thatmean for Christians today, in a society and economy premised on theaccumulation of capital? How can we resist and subvert the power of money?On this theme:- Clare Coffey looks at how multilevel marketing commodifiesfriendship.- Sharon Rose Christner describes what happens when a Vatican palacebecomes a homeless shelter.- Alastair Roberts writes in praise of Mary of Bethany’s extravagantlove.- A photojournalist asks what’s left of the Cuban Revolutionseventy years after it began.- Jack Bell revisits William Cobbett’s spirited defense of thevanishing British commons.- Maria Weiss finds pain and friendship in the forced community ofa leper colony.- Maureen Swinger reveals the joys and pitfalls of owning twenty-twocars (collectively).- Robert Lockridge describes what he’s learned running a pay-as-you-cancafé.Also in the issue: - The winning poems in the 2023 Rhina Espaillat Poetry Awardcontest- An excerpt from Eugene Vodolazkin’s new novel, A History of the Island- Reviews of Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s Thin Places, Lydia Millet’s Dinosaurs,and Jennifer Banks’s Natality- Readings on Christianity and money from Eberhard Arnold, Peter Riedemann, Nicolai Berdyaev, Basilof Caesarea, Maria Skobtsova, C.
