We will soon conclude our thoughts on Missional Holism. In the meantime…
Before we had ever thought of planting churches in Chicago, I had been exposed to its heart through an often profound radio show called This American Life. TAL is broadcast from Chicago and often includes insightful glimpses of its hometown. Take, for instance, the show that highlighted Chicago’s segregation during the campaign of Harold Washington.
I often encounter skepticism when I talk about the ongoing well-documented racial segregation and inequality issues in Chicago to supporters and friends.
I’m going to take a chance here and post a segment from a recent television episode of TAL that is not for the faint at heart. In it, you will hear about a hot-dog stand located two blocks south and four blocks east of where Kayla and I are planning to live (see the map below).
Be forewarned: this video contains some of the most foul, racist, sexist behavior you might have witnessed in a long time.
