Abstract
Many suburban evangelical churches are failing to respond to urban poverty in America, The relationship between these churches and the urban poor may be described in terms of detachment. Biblical passages such as Deuterononvy 15 propose a theological agenda in which a community's relationship to God turns on its ability to relate to its individual parts. People in the ideal community bridge gaps between the "haves" and the "have nots" since God has already bridged the gap between divinity arul humanity. Implications of this perspective include the example of life skills training and other progjrams as a means to implement the theological framework, thereby forming practical partnerships with the urban poor to help lift them out of poverty.
