Audio Ur: David Swanson on Urban Ministry
A pastor reflects on the challenges of a new ministry context.
A couple of weeks ago, Leadership assistant editor Brandon O'Brien spent a day talking with Out of Ur friends and contributors in Chicago. The result of his efforts is a series of podcasts we'll be releasing on Ur over the coming weeks. Today we present the first of those.
Brandon spoke with a regular contributor to Out of Ur, David Swanson. David writes the monthly Urban Exile column, which chronicles his experiences and reflections as he adapts from suburban ministry to urban ministry. In this session, David discusses what he perceives as the differences in values between the urban and suburban congregations he has served in.

Good, cutting-edge thought about urban ministry here in this interview. Jesus often walked through the towns and cities back then and confronted the issues there. We're in it now.
