?San Francisco, An Urban Mission? (available both in paperback and hardback) is Gary?s best work thus far. It presents an in-depth view of the city, its cultures, its history, its heart, its politics, its famous hills and sites, its importance and international influence as well as a multitude of people who have called ?The City? their home. As a student of history and the city?s ?Chaplain of Broadway?, the author provides a rich cast of characters and quotations to provide the reader with a much closer look at ?America?s most European city?.
This volume includes a unique merger of the history of the city with the birth and development of the city?s churches. From the ?gold rush? onward the church has played a role in what occurs there - both good and bad.
Walk with the author to the steps of city hall and through the streets of the city as he encounters people at their doorways, on the university campuses, at rock concerts, in the midst of riots, at protest marches and among the club scene of Broadway in North Beach. It was not an easy place to live and plant a church, but the author allows you to see his heart and the lives touched and transformed during their seven years in the city.
Overall it is an interesting and thorough treatment of all that encompasses the city of San Francisco drawn from his personal experiences and more than 200 sources. From the rebuilding of the cable car system or attending a concert in Golden Gate Park to rescuing a young girl from the massage parlor the author had one question in mind. ?Is this city like the ancient Nineveh or is it a modern day Sodom?? You, the reader can decide!
