Learning from Urban Church Research

In a university or seminary setting it is often enough that the questions posed by research be of value to a particular discipline. The study may not necessarily be practical, at least in any immediate sense. For this reason those working in "applied" settings, like denominational agencies, often see little value in such research. In fact, I recently heard the comment that researchers are "answering questions that no one is asking."
