Is each person's gender an incomplete half, left in lack of the other? Or, is each person complete as their gender and called to join with the other?

Jacob Hyman and Nathan Bird discuss how the battle between land and city is a false dichotomy. Each is dependent on the other and both are essential to renewal. They also discuss how the modern city has divorced these ways of life: making the land a commodity to extract resources and the modern city a scattered suburban sprawl. Also, the financial cost of these poorly planned cities has led to urban decay and flight to newer cities. But, there is a plan that the Church has for making cities beautiful and connecting with the land. Join the conversation on our Discord.
