If you're like me, then you're connected to an evangelical denomination that does white collar middle class suburbs REALLY well. But they FAIL at anything urban or inner city. Here is an interesting quote from Eric Crouch's book "Culture Making" from page 124:

...it is not surprising that after he brings humanity's most sophisticated, most rebellious culture-making project to an abrupt halt in Genesis 11, God unveils his most daring experiment in cultural mercy: the experiment that runs out to be the key to understanding why, in Revelation 21, the best gift God can give a redeemed world is not a garden but a city.

The city?!? Where it's noisy and there's crime and hobos?! Certainly not my God. <--sarcasm
