"Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." - Jer 29:7
Peace and prosperity. Or in the Hebrew, shalom: completeness, soundness, welfare, peace.
As Phil Skei explains it, right and flourishing relationships between God and people, people and people, and people and the environment. The idea of reconciliation, redemption, restoration, "that all of them may be one." Shalom.
