A comprehensive introduction to the particular challenges and opportunities of congregational ministry in urban settings.

Urban ministry has long been a part of seminary curricula, but a basic and definitive understanding of what students should know as they prepare for congregational ministry in the city has remained elusive. Too often it is assumed that the theological resources developed for ministry in other settings are adequate for urban ministry, but these resources fail to account for the unique challenges and opportunities of the urban setting. Ronald Peters clarifies the nature of urban ministry as a theological discipline by showing how its core values of love, justice, community, and reconciliation (among others) engage the issues of economics, education, family life, public health, ethnic relations, and religious life in the urban environment. Arguing that the city has always served as an arena of God's activity, Peters articulates a theological rationale for urban ministry that is both hopeful and yet realistic, affirming that God loves the city and its people and encouraging practitioners to do the same.

Overpriced for a cheaply made shirt. The hems are glued down, not sewn.
Color: Grey/Black Square, Size: XX-Large, Color: Grey/Black Square, Size: XX-Large
I'm not sure how well this shirt is going to hold up, but I'll give them it's lightweight and cool! LOL There's almost nothing to it, it's so light. Mrs Aloha Friday is really crafty, but doesn't do much sewing. It's like she made this shirt with those tapes that you use to hold a hem temporarily, with an iron. LOL She's now got the idea she can make me shirts herself by just gluing them together! ;o) Neither of us is sure how well this will hold up to multiple washes. I'll edit my review if it falls apart. I think the price is nuts for what you get, at $27 as of this writing. There are literally holes in the shirt! I'd feel better recommending it at around $10. If you need something lightweight, yet still an actual shirt, here ya go. The problem is, I'll need to wear an undershirt under this or I'll just sweat right through it in the heat, and it will show the texture of everything it rests against, like the hairs on my chest. Or worse, they'll poke through the holes! Gah!! LOL So sorry for that imagery. I got the Grey/Black square.

Esabel.C Mens Mesh Polo Shirt Moisture Wicking Short Sleeve
Color: Lightblue Rhombus, Size: Large
This is the Esabel.C Mens Golf Polo Shirt. It's moisture wicking works out great. I wear it quite often golfing. Very comfortable and light weight. The color I got was the Lightblue Rhombus. They have 6 different ones to choose from. And the price is not bad either. As far as the size goes, I went by their chart, which was large, and it fits very well. I've had no problems with it. Like I said, I wear it very often.

One of my favorite golf shirts
Color: Lightblue Four Dots, Size: Large
I ordered this golf shirt and it's becoming one of my favorites. I'm a medium build 6'3", 42" chest and the large fits me very well with plenty of room for movement but a nice trim look. The lightweight material is soft and breathable, with a small bit of stretch. It's easy to care for with machine wash and dry, and comes out wrinkle-free. This shirt is very well made and is a good value - I highly recommend it.
