The mainline urban church is out of touch with Main Street. By minimizing the ministry of the laity, it has lost contact with those outside of its influence. Only with a unified ministry of an emancipated laity and an empowering clergy can the urban church faithfully participate in the transformation of society. This theory was tested with a congregational workbook. The findings suggest that as the laity are trained with ministry skills, encouraged to engage the political processes, affirmed in their ministry, and respected as equal partners with the clergy, the mainline church can move back to Main Street.
