I want to hear more about this. Closest thing I've seen to articulating a vision of the future in positive terms is solarpunk, but of course that comes with a whole lot of baggage.

The Kingdom is not what we (or I) have understood it to be. It’s not just a church. It is a world that works. It contains ways to grow food, ways to organize communities, ways to heal land. It is every good thing we hope for. We will be embarrassed when we realize God is much much larger that we ever understood.

This part was for you.

Dreaming of the future is on my heart today. And how each of us have these seeds in us. And they are each unique seeds that only we can express, becoming a structure of living stones. You have a vision for free communication. I have a vision of physical community with markets, gardens… it’s all part of the same larger hope. The Spirit brings order out of chaos. He hovered over the waters of creation, He is hovering over the chaos now, and we are hearing those groanings deeper than words.

Co-sign all of that. A big part of articulating a vision for the future I think involves understanding what was great about the past. I love Wendell Berry for this, but when I mention him in this context, people generally think I'm advocating a regression, not an advance. But I don't think Berry is merely nostalgic. I think he had a vision for life that was mostly unrealized, even in the past. The nostalgia we have for the past is in many ways the same as our hope for the future, because the past we remember never actually existed. But it could exist (in some form completely different from what we expect) in the future.

Makes a lot of sense.
