Collaboration of Churches among themselves is an expression of adherence and response to the truths shared in the Bible. The following research work aims to encourage all the parties living and working in the urban Church to consider the outcome of their ministry in an economically divided society. The disparity between the urban rich Church and the urban poor Church is a representative of the actual life in the city. It is important to have an urban Church that is conscious of the gap between the rich and the poor and the subsequent action influenced by the realization that the gap is a denial of the Theology of the Kingdom of God. The research took place at ACK St Veronica Parish. The target population was 110 respondents. Data was analyzed using SPSS- Version 20 for quantitative; as for qualitative data was categorized into themes for ease of interpretation. The study found out that there was less interaction between the rich and the poor churches. The poor church had limited access to resources for economic development. The study therefore recommended that rich churches need to strategically engage the poor churches to prompt collaborative measures. It also recommends that the poor churches on the other hand, must seek ways in which to work with their rich counterparts for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. |
