The Acts of Convention

Resolved, That the 66th General Convention of the Episcopal Church declare and recognize response to the plight of the cities and their people through urban mission and evangelism to be none other than God's call to obedience and fidelity in this age; and be it further

Resolved, That this Convention urge the people of the Church to seek to understand more fully those forces operative in urbanized society which cause the accelerating deterioration of the cities and the anguish of their poor, to understand involvement of those institutions, including the Church, which control the present and future of the cities and affect their impoverishment, and to devote themselves, through action by individuals, Parishes, Dioceses and other agencies of the Church, to the creation of a just, humane and sustainable urban society.
