Over the past few years there has been much talk in church planting circles about the importance of ‘going for the cities’. I thought the following comment by Roland Allen in his amazing book Missionary methods, St. Paul’s or Ours? (first published in 1912!) is really thought provoking!
“Important cities may be made the graves of mission as easily as villages. There is no particular virtue in attacking a centre or establishing a church in an important place unless the church established in the important place is a church possessed of sufficient life to be a source of light to the whole country round.” (pg. 12)
