Transformation
As we navigate the city and make discoveries we face what can be seen as spiritual challenges and may discover opportunities to create beauty, to work for justice and to build community. Through our actions we can become agents of transformation in the life of the city.
Transformation is the way we draw upon our spiritual traditions to turn our cities into places of creativity, equity, and authentic community.
In thinking about how to transform the city you might consider some of the following questions:
How can you bring down those barriers that oppress the lives of so many of those who live in cities? How can those of us who benefit from white privilege help to dismantle the structures that sustain that privilege?
How can the city become a place of enhanced beauty through the arts, architecture, and urban design?
How can community be reformed and reshaped so that deep divides are overcome and the gifts of all urban dwellers are honored and incorporated into city life?
