The Church and the City

The church should be a positive force for advancing the common good for all people in their city. In Chicago, this kind of work has been happening for over two centuries. From Dwight L. Moody's first efforts to care for the welfare of the port sailors and saloon keepers to today's work by leaders throughout this city of Chicago to restore and renew their society, Chicago is a model city for the conversations taking place at Q.
