Re: question..

If the building of Babel leads to the scattering of tongues, then surely the fall of Babel (Revelations) leads to a universal Pentacost, no?

If the urban renewal of the '60s and '70s drove us apart, surely common adversity draws us together.

Archbishop John spoke of being (re)baptized in the Cathedral at 225 West 69th, now a playground for the upscale children of Lincoln Towers. Urban renewal as ethnic cleansing. When I walk through my trendy neighborhood, I often think of the homes of working people and their houses of worship destroyed to make room for it.
