The city - new home and task of the Church?
More and more Christians define themselves locally instead
of denominationally. In more and more cities and regions,
the Church is learning to act as one body - incarnating

to learn? Where are the roadblocks? How do we need to proceed
- act strategically or pray for God-intervention? These and
more questions and tensions we want to address in this section.

in the world's twelve largest cities. 94% of North Americans,
80% of Russians, 74% of South Americans and 73% of Euro-peans
now live in towns or cities. For the first time in history,
the world is more urban than rural. For a long time, towns
and cities were associated with a curse and sin. Christians,
and with them, their churches, moved to the suburbs. Today,

we start? [read
