One of the problems of Christian witness to inner-city communities is that there is no 'community' to witness to, instead there is a large collection of anonymous individuals who don't really know each other.
In this situation the church is faced with the challenge of actively 'making' community. We need to break this mould if we are going to reach people for Christ, people need to know us and get involved with us. This is an account of one Christian couple's attempts to do just that in urban Brighton.
On September 6 2003, Shaftesbury Road, Brighton was transformed. Some time last February, I applied to become a Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator with my deputy living at the other end of a very long and densely populated street.
