Urban Mosaic Newsroom

The news can be overwhelming, especially right now. That’s why, in an effort to share resources and facts, we have created a Newsroom. This is a space to share articles we recommend, informing our work in the complex world we live in and helping us, as the church and ekklesia, to navigate our current context and seek SHALOM in all that we do.
