| Abstract: | Accompanying Africa's rapid urbanization over the past few decades is the unprecedented growth of the Christian faith in sub-Saharan Africa. These two trajectories form the context for issues of urban ministry that are explored in the present collective volume. Biblical perspectives remain foundational to contemporary theological reflection on urban ministry, while African perspectives are crucial in assessing the role of the Church thus far and offering recommendations for enhancing its service to city dwellers today. Topics covered include contributions of Pentecostal-Charismatic churches (Uganda), African Instituted Churches (Kenya), particular ministries within informal settlements (Kenya), and women's ministries (Uganda). Specific issues in urban ministry, such as healing ministries (Nigeria), alcoholism, HIV and AIDS (Uganda, Kenya), and environmental degradation, are also addressed. Contributors: Diane B.
