This concluding article draws attention to three new features of Urban Theology since Faith in the City – the shift of emphasis from deprivation to community relations and multiculturalism, the recognition of our own cultural conditioning, and the significance of ‘reader response’. It is suggested that genuine ‘urban theology’ should arise from the situation itself rather than be the product of such sophisticated academic analysis.
