Faith in the City was a seminal moment in the life of the Church of England. This book evaluates its importance for the present day and seeks to open a debate on urban policy and theology and practice.
We believe that a recovery of a commitment to the issues explored would connect the Church to urban communities and encourage a debate on the importance of recovering a commitment to Urban Mission and Ministry.

"A deeply convincing and engaging recreation of mid-Wales in the obscure decades following the end of Roman rule. Mark Clavier gives us a wonderfully insightful depiction of a society finding its way between indigenous and Christian belief, coping with violent upheaval, and learning to share a profound sense of anchorage - even grace - in the natural rhythms and gifts of a particular landscape."

It must be one of the most famous places on earth – Bethlehem. Renowned as the place where Jesus was born. But beyond that, few people know of its history or of its association with other important characters of the bible.

Canon Nicholas’ book brings together the biblical stories and the significant people connected with Bethlehem. We are introduced to Rachel, Ruth, David and Elijah, whose fascinating stories are told in the context of their time. He does not shy away from mentioning the sad situation in Bethlehem today and he is sensitive to the special place that Bethlehem and the biblical characters have in three religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam,

"a timely and vital resource for individuals and groups seeking an Advent observance that is both biblically grounded and contemporaneously aware. It will undoubtedly stimulate profound discussion, heartfelt prayer, and a renewed commitment to embodying the peace and justice that the Christ-child came to bring.

For four generations, the Rusticelii have farmed their estate, weathering political shifts, invasions, and the slow erosion of Roman rule in the British countryside.
