Christian life in an urban age

Mark R. Gornik considers how Christian communities are taking shape in cities, where urban life has often been viewed with suspicion within religious settings. Drawing on the authors’ experience living and working in New York City, the book examines developments in the urban church and considers what they might offer Christians beyond city boundaries. Its subject is both local and broadly framed: how faith is lived in urban settings, and how churches can contribute to a more flourishing city life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians interested in urban ministry and church life
  • Readers curious about the relationship between cities and Christian faith

Book overview

We live in an urban age. To a degree unprecedented in human history, most of the world's people live in cities. It is thus vital, say Mark Gornik and Maria Liu Wong, for Christians to think constructively about how to live out their faith in an urban setting.

In Stay in the City Gornik and Liu Wong look at what is happening in the urban church--and what Christians everywhere can learn from it. Once viewed suspiciously for their worldly temptations and vices, cities are increasingly becoming centers of vibrant Christian faith. Writing from their experience living and working in New York City, Gornik and Liu Wong invite readers everywhere to join together in creating a more flourishing--and faith-filled--urban world.
