The Urban Rural Mission[1][2][3] is a programme of the World Council of Churches.
It started with the Council's third assembly in New Delhi (1961), when concerns were raised about mission in urban and industrial societies.
[4] In the late 1990s, URM Canada funded several activities including story-telling circles in Black Nova Scotian communities, hosted an intercultural women’s day and organized a wilderness retreat for Aboriginal youth, among other activities.
It later produced a video entitled “This Is Our Story and We Live By Telling It - Storytelling as Community Development.”[5]
