Like the Indonesian communities dealing with corruption and crime, the solution to our need for safety and security comes not from better alarm systems but from an engagement and attentiveness to the world around us. In a word, true security comes from building trust. When we begin to discover that we need to become agents of trust in our neighbourhoods, we set aside the itch to serve ourselves first, and instead begin to live into the places where God is at work and where life is taking root in our communities.
