Urban Churches, Vital Signs is an important and positive contribution to the urgent discussion about the mission of the churches in American cities. The significant stories describe creative iniciatives by congregations in response to issues of economic development, affordable housing, health care, and education in fifteen cities across the nation. Readers will see woven throughout the narratives the crucial role of theology worship, pastoral leadership, partnership, racial identity, family life, new patterns of funding, and transformative imagination. This is a book that will inspire hope and stimulate the struggle for justice.

These writers sense their roots in a practical Christianity which knows everyday life is the arena for living discipleship, and they see every Christian as a "called" person who many participate in God`s idea of a "kingdom of priests"- a kingdom of faith-sharers.
I don`t know two people more equipped for the writing of such a book. George Morris and Eddie Fox have distinguished themselves in the field of evangelism and faith-sharing. By study and experience, they are authorities in the theology and practice of witnessing. I chair the Wold Evangelism Committee of the World Methodist Council. George Morris and Eddie Fox are significant leaders in world evangelism, and I look forward to a future in which I will continue to be yoked with them in a task that demands more than we can ever give, but is called for and undergirded by the One to whom the kingdoms of this wold will one day bow down.

Those of us in the congregation recognize the floundering of Christian Education today wich Dr. Foster so clearly pictures. But we aren`t left wallowing. Insight, hope, and practical procedure challenge us and help us focus on meaning and discipleship. Thank you. There is Good News here!
