D.J. Waldie, “City of Angels: City of Faith?”

In a city that retails its desires to the world, belief comes easy. Faithfulness, however, is more elusive for Angeleños. Is there any point in believing in Los Angeles, either as a place or a metropolis? Why should anyone be loyal to something that disappoints so often? The fate of the city and its region is tied to questions of faith, which will be explored by poet and essayist D. J. Waldie, author of Where We Are Now: Notes from Los Angeles.
