Why the name Living City?
“If we look at our cities, what people yearn for today is precisely a ‘new city,’ a ‘living city’ and a ‘fraternal city,’ where, beyond every division, we are sisters and brothers to each other,” Focolare founder Chiara Lubich said, commenting on Focolare media. “Our magazine’s goal is to be a pathway to universal brotherhood, a means of dialogue at all levels, and an instrument of unity and communion.”
