About
Vision of the City is dedicated to exploring a compelling question: “In light of what the gospel tells us about ourselves, those around us and the world to come, what attitudes and values should we bring into civic life and political conversation?”
You won’t find a prescription for legislation to support or candidates to endorse here. Instead, people of all creeds will hopefully find kindling to spark thought-provoking, edifying discussion about the Christian narrative and what it means to engage civic culture in a uniquely Christian manner.
About the Editor
Rick Barry lives and works in Washington, DC. An art school graduate with a degree in creative writing, he has worked for numerous political campaigns and non-profits, initially directing grass-roots voter contact before moving into marketing and communications. He has written about art and pop culture for national and international magazines, and occasionally blogs on the topic at TheRickBarry.com. He currently directs communications for Grace DC (consisting of Grace Downtown and Grace Meridian Hill). A former competitive martial artist, he won three bronze medals in the Wide World of Sports tournament, was invited to represent the United States in the 2000 millennial games and once chopped a watermelon in half with his bare hand. That last one is by far his proudest accomplishment.
