URBAN MINISTRY

IMAGES OF URBAN MINISTRY

CANARY -- The Rev.Walter Brueggemann

  • Canaries were used to test safety of the air in coal mines. Canary sent into mine if canary returned, mine was safe for men.
    God uses the "poor" to send into the City to see if City and Church is safe.

    SERVANT -- The Rev. Dr. Douglass Bailey

  • Unlock doors of Urban Churches. Invite people outside doors inside to eat, fellowship, worship, pray. Dare to live with city.

    • TOUCH -- The Rev. Dr. Douglass Bailey

  • Touch of and with Christ. Be Sacred touchers of the untouchables

    • CANDLE -- The Rev. Dr. Douglass Bailey

  • Urban Church must be the Christ Light. Create and light candles for those who are living in darkness within the church as well as those living in darkness outside the church.
