Economic Depressions

Companion to the Poor: Christ in the Urban Slums


Viv Grigg - 1969
    The need was obvious - to establish a Christian church among Asia's forgotten people, the impoverished slum dwellers of its vast megalopolises. The challenge was to find a way that did not treat people's spiritual needs in isolation from their poverty, without simply becoming another economic or social relief program with no evangelistic component.

What has begun is but the beginning of the founding of a Christian community in a dark place. This is not Viv Grigg's story alone, but God's story. For it is God who is working in Tatalon and urban slums like it, and giving people a hope that affects all of life. Viv Grigg challenges us to reexamine our strategies and design new approaches that will build Christ's kingdom among the poor who comprise nearly half the world.

"Many of Fullarton's arguments later resurfaced in the Racliffe Report of 1959 and are still today being 'rediscovered'." The New Palgrave
