Websites
UK Urban Mission is a new web portal for resources, history and exploration of Christian Mission in British cities curated by Greg Smith of the William Temple Foundation in consultation with Paul, Erica Dunmow, Stuart Murray-Williams and others. The aim is to provide a gateway to all of the best resources and ideas for urban mission and ministry in the UK in the 21st Century. This is a big task and we expect the site to keep growing as more material is added. We are on the lookout for relevant organisations, literature, resources, historical information. If you have or know of content that should be on the site, please send an email.
