[ICTHUS]

Alright, so - moving from specifics, such as healthcare, education, and so on and so forth, to generalities:

What are the characteristics of a truly just, peaceful, and prosperous society? I think, before beginning any discussion regarding politics or economics or anything the implications of which have wide-ranging impacts for a society or a section of society, it is important to bear this question in mind.

So, have at 'er, folks.

[Chrysostom]

Could you elaborate? All I'm getting as answers so far are "justice, peace, and prosperity," but of course that just restates the question..

[ICTHUS]

Well, what factors into these things? What kinds of things does it mean when we say that we want people to be treated justly? What does it mean, in concrete terms, to have a peaceful society? A prosperous one?

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
