Highlights from the London Summit 2026
The London Movement Summit 2026 brought together leaders from churches, charities, community organisations and civic institutions on 13th October 2026. The Summit demonstrated both the scale of London’s challenges and the potential that exists when organisations work together. The next steps are clear: strengthen local relationships, develop mapping where needed, connect existing services and create opportunities for continued collaboration. |

Discovering York and its Poverty
York is confident but not arrogant, mid-sized in scale but vast in its history, a city of two stories - a touristy center which is somehow disconnected from the wider city. Paul Hildreth talks about the process and surprises of the York Place Review. |

Asian Cities Accelerate with Ambition
“The expansion in the last three or four years has been considerable and getting wider to other places. The Asian movements are praying in some pretty big goals, and they've got some pretty big visions. That is something that I think we could learn from. I think we just need to become more ambitious, more confident, and we need to push ourselves out a bit.”
Roger Sutton shares his learnings from a recent gathering of Asian City Movement leaders. |

Have a MAF Christmas in Your City This Year
Roger shares how your unity movement can raise awareness and support for the 'unnamed cities' of Sudan with our partners Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) this Christmas.
At our Gather Movement Summit this year, MAF encouraged our City Movements to think about how they could come alongside the Sudan 7, and bring transformation to the refugee cities which house tens of thousands of displaced forgotten people. Oxford and Liverpool are taking up the challenge. |

Bible Conversations in Teesside
“The idea behind Bible Conversations is actually really simple. We want to put the Bible into the hands of ordinary Christians and give them the confidence to open it up and have a conversation about it with their friends, family and colleagues. It’s been an amazing partnership, combining the Bible Society’s passion for Bible engagement with the relationships, unity and missional heart of the churches here in Teesside.” |
