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
