2) a missionary spirit to go out and live your Christianity and convert all those you know.
.
So the Council asked for people to take their religion seriously, and to go deeper. The unfortunate thing was the "reform" was hijacked by modernism and most of the changes that are seen are only surface deep and really weren't that important anyway.

An urban environment is the environment of a city; usually characterized by many buildings in a limited amount of space, with a high per capita per square mile. Most of the living spaces, working spaces, shopping areas, educational facilities, services, etc. are grouped in close proximity to each other. It is usually characterized by limited open areas (green spaces) in specifically planned areas or places that have been abandoned because of the higher value of real estate in urban areas.
