Publisher's Synopsis
The 1985 the Faith in the City report on urban priority areas was a landmark moment in the life of the Church of England.
Written by some of those who were involved in the publication and implementation of the report itself and other have been engaged in urban ministry and community organizing since, the chapters in this book evaluate the importance of Faith in the City for the present day and seek to open a debate on urban policy and theology and practice.
The editors and contributors of this book believe that a recovery of the report's radical challenge rooted in incarnational theology and the strong links between Church, Faith and Society can reconnect the Church to urban communities and encourage a new commitment to Urban Mission and Ministry.
