Breaking Ground

pandemic and racial reckoning exposed society’s faults, Christian thinkers were
laying the groundwork for a better future. A public health and economic crisis provoked
by Covid-19. A social crisis cracked open by the filmed murder of George Floyd.
A leadership crisis laid bare as the gravity of a global pandemic met a country
suffocating in political polarization and idolatry.
In the spring of 2020, Comment magazine created a
publishing project to tap the resources of a Christian humanist tradition to
respond collaboratively and imaginatively to these crises. Plough soon
joined in the venture. So did seventeen other institutions. The web commons
that resulted – Breaking Ground – became a
one-of-a-kind space to probe society’s assumptions, interrogate our own hearts,
and imagine what a better future might require.
This
volume, written in real time during a year that revealed the depths of our
society’s fissures, provides a wealth of reflections and proposals on what
should come after. It is an anthology of different lenses of faith seeking to
understand how best we can serve the broader society and renew our
civilization.
