Community, virtual and real, and sustainability dominate this latest issue of diggings. An interesting conversation with Francis Anderson discusses natural farming, positive communities and the ideas of Wendall Barry. diggings further muses on intentional virtual communities in one cut and paste essay, and in another, “Creating a Healthy Subculture” tries to present something of a how to list. Its Christian perspective is most evident in a conversation with Mark Humphries who organizes the Red Herring Cathedral in Winnipeg where they explore the growth and future of Christian communities in Winnipeg. Finally, reviews of Christian and non-Christian bands and zines round this issue out and reaffirm it as a worthwhile read regardless of what “faith” you bring to it.
