Creating intentional Christian communities : integrating models of urban mission /
Cartwright, Simon,author.
"As the church reimagines itself in a post-Christendom era to meet the challenges of mission in an increasingly multicultural and urban population, it faces similar questions to the Jewish exiles addressed by the prophet Jeremiah. This compelling study urges us to seek the shalom - peace - of the city, just as the exiles were called to do. It proposed a combination of chaplains, community development workers and pioneers seeking where God is at work and joining in, and forming new and authentic communities"--Back cover.
