Urban Mission in the 21st Century
(TH-658)
Winter/Spring
2005 |
| Maintaining a creative and faithful witness in the city represents a significant challenge to the urban church, particularly when suburban congregations seem to have all the advantages. In this course we look at the pressures on urban ministry and examine a range of strategies from prayer to partnerships that can reinvigorate urban mission. The course will be of help to all those who wish to promote a more effective role for the Church in the contemporary city.
