As we approach the end of the year, the editors decided to come together to share some of their favorite articles of 2022. These articles challenged us to rethink ideas and explore new ones, from the war in Ukraine and the Dobbs decision to ecological disaster, community resilience, and the theology of hip-hop. There was so much ground to cover, in fact, we decided to share our favorite 15 pieces. We’re looking forward to bringing you more stories and analysis in 2023!
