Some values with which we might try to re-imagine and renew the neighbourhoods we share:
collaboration... without the erasing of differences
equity... the flattening and redistribution of power
community development... in and through interdependence
embrace... without the fear of excluding evil or indifference to injustice
generosity... and not scarcity
hospitality... intentionally making room for others in what we call our 'own' - our seeing and in our spaces
freedom... without slipping into hyper individualism
fair and transparent trading
fun... simply and madly celebrating everything that is good
consumerism... without excess
faith/hopefulness... without devaluing the creation or elevating a fatalistic escape to heaven
sustainability... without the moralizing, please.
Doable? Touchable? What do you think?
