Drawing on my experience in two urban parishes, one predominantly White and the other Black, I seek to show how it is legitimate that we interrogate our present age through the lens of faith. I argue that by its experience of being forced into difference, the Black church has much to offer the White church, especially as the former in cities is growing, unlike the latter. Black-driven mission must be a challenging concept for the White-led dominations. By a genuine commonality, there is much to hope for in a new expression of church that is driven by mission and sustained by prayer
