it just happens to be a memorable date in my family. so, i happened to notice the report.
not sure there's anything scriptural about rural/urban mission fields.
cities were hit-hard in scriptures at various times. nothing saying we should not have cities, but nothing saying city-dwellers are God's favored ones. again, it's not black+white.
from what i have noticed (fwiw) ..
there was a big trend to divide everyone and everything into us+them, to politicize everything, small+big, established+not established, in the prior 8 years or so. division is/was NOT new, just "put on steroids," pushed to ever-newer poltical heights. esp formalized+funded thru government/human law.
i'd really like to see (we the people) reject this mode of thinking. it's unhealthy and destructive.
career politicians will not lead this, they've made that much clear.
if there is an improvement, it will have to be in hearts+minds of everyday people.
honestly, Mr Jim wrote about this, now some years ago.
he stated it's the politicians' game, divide+conquer. at that time, he stated, if we ordinary people do not learn to reject these political contrivances, we will be stuck with living with them.
i believe Jesus would agree.
