Description
Summary:The following article is a report and reflection on the large missionary convention sponsored by Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship and attended by thousands of university students in December, 1991. Samuel Escobar evaluates Urbana ′90 from a Third World and missiological perspective. Mary Fisher follows with a report on the planning and objectives showing that this celebrated convention steered a new course by consciously trying to reflect all of the values of the kingdom, including both a passion for evangelism and a concern for social justice. J. Christy Wilson concludes with reflections and comparisons between this event and the first conference which he directed in 1946.
