“"In my experience Urban Mission Toolkit is absolutely unique and unrivalled. Its practical approach combined with input from experienced practitioners offers participants a quality, hands on, life-changing event. Capt. Phil Clarke, Church Army – Page Moss, Liverpool Read More

I have not come across anything like it, both in terms of the approach taken, and the quality and quantity of material covered. It is a superb learning experience, suitable for those wishing to leave their comfort zones and dip their feet into the urban landscape, and for those who live it every day and need to gain confidence and be empowered.”
Capt. Phil Clarke, Church Army – Page Moss, Liverpool

“Urban Mission Toolkit fills a valuable niche in providing a dynamic mix of accessible training, hands on experience, and space to reflect Biblically on the rationale behind urban mission and social action. Attended by people from different backgrounds and churches, it is an enriching experience because of this.” Fran Beckett, Chief Executive – Church Urban Fund

“Urban Mission Toolkit offers a demanding but accessible introduction to urban ministry that helpfully embraces gaining knowledge, character development and learning skills.
Stuart Murray-Williams – Author & Trainer Read More

The combination of instruction, small group work, practical placements and reflection on these placements provides a multi-faceted approach that connects with participants at various levels. While academically credible, Urban Mission Toolkit is not an academic course but a learning process rooted in urban experience that covers a wide range of practical as well as theological subjects. From its base in one church and tradition it has broadened out into an ecumenically attractive learning environment, enhanced by the diversity of trainers involved.
Stuart Murray-Williams – Author & Trainer

“When there is a real danger of the urban mission agenda being forgotten by the wider church it is excellent to see the investment in this arena. The rigour and radicalness of the curriculum is, to my knowledge, unmatched. The calibre and commitment of the participants are exceptional.”
Ann Morisy, Former Director of Commission for Urban, Life and Faith

“The Urban Mission Toolkit has developed out of many years of experience of working in city contexts and is an excellent way of engaging with the realities of urban mission.”
Rev Dr Graham Tomin, Principle – St Paul’s Theological Centre, London
