"The vision of the new Jerusalem with which Revelation concludes is a vision of the future God intends for us all. It is an urban vision of a city filled with the glory of God in which all have access to the good gifts of creation - the river of life, and the tree of life, with twelve fruits and leaves for the healing of the nations. It s the direction in which we are moving, and the basis for any and all initiatives we may claim as we are moving, and the basis for any and all initiatives we may claim as our calling in this time and place - initiatives based on a hopeful vision of the day wen there will be no more tears, no more death, and no more pain."
- Theology from the Trenches, Roger J. Gench (Westminster John Knox Press)
