How should the Church of England, and other bodies, including government, respond? This was the brief given by the Archbishop of Canterbury to a distinguished 18-member Commission drawn from a wide range of backgrounds. After two years of taking evidence and visiting the major cities where economic, physical and social conditions are at their most acute and depressing, the Commission's report paints a disturbing picture. The report makes recommendations to the Church about its place and responsibilities in the urban priority areas. Important recommendations are also made about public policy issues: unemployment, housing, social and community work, education, policing, and urban policy. In its call for action on a broad front, the Commission argues that Church and State must have faith in the city. There needs to be a clear commitment - and a positive response by the nation as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715143263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715143261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Church House Pub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46738982928639,"sku":"9780715143261","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03eea5c0-33eb-4c34-b94a-553ae69d3414.jpg?v=1743276856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faith-in-the-city-archbishop-of-canterburys-commission-9780715143261","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
