 According to George Cassidy, Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, in a speech to the House of Lords, a less immediately obvious legacy of the "Faith in the City" report can also be ascertained.He opined that, although the report focused on urban areas, the message of the report "was, and to a great extent remains, universal" – prompting the Church of England to make similar work in looking at problems in non urban areas.The successful model for links, dialogue and cooperation between faith organisations and urban local communities in the wake of the report and the establishment of the Church Urban Fund were mirrored later in rural areas, following the recommendations in the subsequent report, "Faith in the Countryside".
