A collection of pieces on the distinctive nature of spirituality in an urban context. This stimulating collection of specially commissioned pieces, by a variety of distinguished authors, aims to increase substantially our understanding of the distinctive nature of spirituality in an urban context, and illustrate how the city affects the religious experience of the people and institutions located there. Themes addressed in the book are: cities and human community; the spirituality of everyday life; hymns and the city; reclaiming faith; urbanization, the Christian Church and the Human Project; the development of a priestly ministry in Soho; urban spirituality; living in knowable communities; urban possibilities for daydreaming.
