“Urban Presence’s passion to reach the working-class, the largest single section of our population, yet almost entirely lost to a predominantly middle-class Church, is one that should be shared by all mission-minded Christians with a desire to see the practical outworking of the Great Commission in what has been rightly called ‘the mission field on our doorsteps’".
