The City
City Stories of Nature and Grace: An Urban Pilgrim’s Progress
Philip Bess“A good culture of building almost certainly requires an understanding of man as an intermediate being: simultaneously part of, different from, and responsible for nature.”
We, the Ordinary People of the Streets
Madeleine Delbrêl“Each tiny act is an extraordinary event, in which heaven is given to us, in which we are able to give heaven to others.”
God in the City
Madeleine Delbrêl“If we are responsible that men have lost God, then yes, we should perhaps suffer; but above all we should give them back God.”
