Dear Subscribers and Friends:


THE NEXT AMERICAN CITY'S third issue - Religion & Cities: How Faith is

Transforming Communities Across America - will be appearing in

mailboxes and on newsstands around the country very soon. If you

haven't yet subscribed, it's not too late to sign up to receive Issue #3!


In this issue, we are pleased to present an in-depth look at a

critical topic: the role religion and people of faith are playing in

changing communities across America.


>From a look at Dearborn, Michigan - America's Muslim capital - to an

examination why the Lubavitcher Jews stayed in Crown Heights, Brooklyn

to a discussion of how Christian groups are using the Bible to combat

sprawl, we're taking this complex issue head-on. And that's just the

start - we hope you enjoy the pieces on how 'conservative creatives'

transformed Chattanooga, the disastrous career of WTC architect Minoru

Yamasaki, and why bad schools might be illegal. And as always, we

welcome your thoughts. Drop us a line at info at americancity.org.


NEXT WEEK: HEAR DC'S MAYOR AT TNAC'S GENTRIFICATION PANEL


Tell a friend about TNAC's next event:


- WASHINGTON, D.C. GENTRIFICATION: 

- A Panel Discussion with Mayor Anthony Williams

- This Wednesday, October 15th, 6:30-8:30pm, $3 for adults

- The City Museum, 801 K Street, NW (202-383-1800 for details)

- Washington, D.C.


Gentrification is one of the most important phenomena shaping

21st-century Washington. Yet rarely is gentrification discussed with

much respect for the complex collection of forces that it represents.

This panel discussion aims to promote a responsible and informative

public dialogue on this contentious issue. Complete details at:
