Abstract:
Collaboration of Churches among themselves is an
expression of adherence and response to the truths shared in the
Bible. This paper aims to encourage all the parties living and
working particularly 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 poor Church is
a representative of the actual life in the Christendom. 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 writing of this paper was
informed by the widening gap between the rich and the poor
Churches within the house hold of faith. convinced that out
there, there is less interaction between the rich and the poor
churches. The poor church had limited access to resources for
economic development. I would therefore suggest that; rich
churches need to strategically engage the poor churches to
prompt collaborative measures. 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.
