Perhaps “Church work” is suppose to happen in the city, where the people are, where lives are being lived, in all the pain, the mystery, the diversity, the confrontation, and the confusion of life—especially life in the city. Perhaps to be detached from that makes the work of churches rather lifeless. We can no longer, as Peter suggested in the transfiguration, stay and hoard the “mountain top” of what Cornel West calls the vanilla suburbs. We must come down from the mountain with Jesus, and like the disciples, we must continue to discuss and wrestle with what it means to rise from the dead (Mark 9:10).

In Solidarity,

Ross
