Hi, was just reading an article from Christianity
Today that seemed relevant to the Urban Expression
idea.
........
Today, the Simple Way, with its two houses on Potter
Street, is one of the oldest of a new crop of
Christian intentional communities. Formed often
independently by mostly young, single Christians,
these communities are the latest wave of evangelicals
who see in community life an answer to society's
materialism and the church's complacency toward it.
Rather than enjoy the benefits of middle-class life,
these suburban evangelicals choose to move in with the
poor. Though many of the same forces drive them as did
earlier generations—a desire to experience intense
community and to challenge contented
evangelicalism—they are turning to an ancient
tradition to provide the spiritual sustenance for
their ministries.
