upon—particularly the Diewerts and their extended family/friends for Streams of Justice and Terry Patten and Bruce Alexander for A Community Aware (including Ken Lyotier, Kate Andrews, Gurvinder Parmar, Ross Banister, Doug Hetherington, and others mentioned in Appendix B). To the Metro Vancouver Alliance I am grateful for the earliest interested and dedicated persons who tirelessly toiled when it all seemed gloom and doom. I am thinking especially of the late (Franciscan) Sister Elizabeth Kelliher as well as David Dranchuk, Bob Doll, Sheila Paterson, Lane Walker, Bill Saunders, Margaret Marquardt, Fr. Clarence Li, Fr. Ken Forster, Doug Peterson, and numerous lay people whose convictions for broad-based community organizing for justice remain crucial. Finally, I want to thank long-time on-site Longhouse Ministry volunteer Daniel Wieb. He is a genuine new monastic and freed me more than he realized for my bouts and bursts of work for this book. Of course without the Longhouse Ministry itself, he and I could not have a supportive base for life-in-ministry together with original and sustaining elders, such as Jim White, Ruby Cranmer, Betty Traverse, Effie Njootli and the late Vince Shea (and his thoughtful widow, Janet). Though not all, I want to thank veteran Grandview Calvary Baptist pastor Tim Dickau, a Vancouver virtual animator for the new monasticism cause (and the author of the foreword to this book) and the late Douglas Graves, whose Holy Week 2016 death leaves us with thermal current memories and a bequeathed legacy.

      Chapter 1—Proposal of Hopeful Realism

      In what follows there are reflections on realism, then hope, and finally a commentary on the combination of hope and realism and its illumining value for a steadfast urban ministry in the service of a faithful public and prophetic ministry. These reflections provide an interpretive framework for this book.
