Description
This course situates the church and its mission in Trinitarian and Kingdom Theology, and from this starting point explores models of the church, strategies for effective witness and service, themes in holistic mission and the contours of a missional spirituality. These themes are explored within the context of the challenges, problems and possibilities of urban environments.
