Urban Matthew - Good News from an urban perspective

There is a really interesting resource created in the UK from the perspective of people who are from urban places and spaces and are marginalised called Urban Matthew . I have been exploring it recently alongside The Gospel of Manchester, a printed resource we used in Wythenshawe for Lent. We have been pondering for a while about creating a specific Good News for Wythenshawe and would be interested in hearing from others about local contextual biblical & community stories woven together. We long to hear northern accents like our own when hearing Gospels online instead of American voices. We long to share the stories of local people who have reminded us of the stories of Jesus in new ways. We long to respond to a prompt from the Spirit of God to share, tell, be Good News storytellers where we are in ways which have not been tried before in Wythenshawe. Get in touch with us if you are a filmmaker, writer, broadcaster, publisher and interested in this kind of project to create The Wythenshawe Gospels by leaving a comment below or on our website or via Facebook The Dandelion Community. many thanks, rev Kate
