Hebrews 11 says that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Some say the people of Linden have a faith that surpasses understanding. They’ve witnessed the neighborhood’s glory days the restaurants, dentists, grocery stores, block parties, churches, love and connection and are awaiting a return to that glory.
