chim Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) This all sounds so fucked up from a foreigner perspective, especially considering the way it's portrayed in our national media. But what does it actually mean on a practical level? Are they just going to shut the whole thing down and send every detroiter off to another city/concentration camp?

manmower Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Quote Sometimes there are questions that demand answers. Questions that strike to the core of one's beliefs. The Abandoned Buildings in Mono series returns, this time, with a question. As the social, mental, educational and economic destruction of Detroit continues, many are forced to question the one thing that has carried generations of Detroiter's through turbulent times in the past. The Church has been the cornerstone of many communities throughout history, yet what does it mean when the institutions of faith turn and run from the difficulties Detroit faces. In the face of the religious abandonment of the city at an increasing rate, some have been forced to ask the question, "HAS GOD LEFT DETROIT?"
