Namely; doing reflection, dialogue, discipleship and church well.

Urban Mission

Conn & Ortiz write, “Two hundred years ago only 3 percent of the world’s population lived in cities. Today half does.” This course will examine what might mission look like to the peoples and places of the urban world. Such a study will include issues of incarnation, holism, community development, contextualization, class, and the principalities and powers. These and other topics will be explored from a number of different disciplines but all in reference to cities. Special attention will be given to what it might mean for the church to be a community of faith in the city and what does an urban disciple look like.

Lecture dates: Wednesday afternoons, 1.45 – 4.45 July 21 – October 31
