| Summary: | This article focuses on the emergence of an urban space of partnership between secular and faith-based groups who have come together to find ways to care for women from Manchester’s Somali community, who with the retraction of welfare services find themselves increasingly marginalised and vulnerable. It explores theoretical ideas of the postsecular turn and the way faith-praxis is beginning to be welcomed, as the space between religious and secularising forces becomes more blurred, noting also the challenge the church faces in the postsecular city. |
