Welcome to the Urban Hope Podcast - Urban Theology, Expertise, Models and Stories of Hope for the Cities of Europe!
Our name says it all: we want to encourage, inspire and offer fresh insights for Christian engagement in the cities of Europe. International experts from various fields have their say. Our common vision is to seek the best - God's shalom - for our cities.
We are an audio podcast - just subscribe to us! If you would also like to see us on video (in a simple, raw recording via PC cam) - here is the link to our Urban Hope Youtube page
The podcast is a joint venture of the Hope for Europe/EEA Cities Network and the Berlin Institute for Urban Theology (where the podcast is hosted and produced). Other partners are City Changers Europe, TSR-Kairos, and City to City Europe.
Every two months we invite you to a Zoom exchange to talk about our episodes. If you are interested, please contact us at podcast@urbanhope.eu - we look forward to hearing from you!

A European city case study: Piet Bringsma is an urban theologian and facilitator of a Christian city network in Amsterdam. Before that, he worked as an engineer in the IT sector. He has been extensively involved in researching his city and in this podcast he also describes his own faith journey towards a holistic understanding of mission that seeks shalom for our cities. Very inspiring! Hosts: Katie Dudgeon and Rainer Schacke
