Implications for Research, Education, and Practice

Abstract

Abstract There is no question that urban community practice and church repurposing will necessitate dramatic changes in how we conduct research, practice, and educate future practitioners. All these aspects are required to bring a change in thinking when discussing church repurposing. The issues and recommendations raised in this final chapter represent but an initial start in this important transformative process. Church closures bring unprecedented rewards and challenges for the United States and particularly it’s urban centers.
