Incarnational geographies? : the faith-inspired praxis of 'living amongst'Thomas, Samuel Christopher January 2012 (has links)
Despite a resurgence of religion in the provision of public welfare and care, geography has only recently begun to make sense of this public phenomenon (Kong, 2011). In keeping with recent calls to allow religion to ‘speak back’ to geography (Yorgason & Della Dora, 2009), this thesis presents a re-reading of one particular arena of Christian faith-praxi in socio-economically deprived neighbourhoods across the UK. Much of the literature on faith-based organisations has so far focused on service-provision and political advocacy roles adopted by faith-motivated groups, and there has been little, to no, acknowledgment of re-emeregent forms of ‘incarnational’ mission. Incarnational approaches differ from mainstream service-provision in the sense that faith-inspired individuals and organisations come to permanently ‘live amongst’ marginalised people and places, rather than physically serve from a distance. This thesis seeks to address this lacuna in the literature by critically assessing the faith-inspired praxis of ‘living amongst’, and developing a socio-temporal and ethical account of ‘incarnational geographies’. Drawing upon ethnographic research with one Christian incarnational FBO, this thesis investigates the historical development of the FBO and the experience and practices of staff and volunteers who relocate to live in one particular socio-economically deprived neighbourhood of Greater Manchester. In contrast to essentialist academic accounts of faith-praxis that might present ‘living amongst’ as either a form of self-betterment (see Allahyari, 2000) or proselytisation (see Woods, 2011), this thesis argues that ‘incarnational geographies’ need to be re-read as complex, emergent and performative landscapes that often involve a reconfiguration of purpose and praxis through proximate participation.

Missionale Jüngerschaft im studentischen Kontext : eine empirisch-theologische Untersuchung des Jüngerschafts- und Missionsverständnisses von Studierenden in christlichen Hochschulgruppen Bambergs / Missional discipleship within a student context : an empirical-theological study into the understanding of discipleship and mission held by students in Christian unions at the University of BambergHans, Damaris 11 1900 (has links)
German text / In dieser Forschungsarbeit wird die Glaubenspraxis von Studierenden empirisch-theologisch
auf Aspekte von Mission untersucht um heraus zu finden, inwiefern ein Zusammenhang
zwischen gelebter Jüngerschaft und dem subjektiven, laientheologischen Verständnis von
Mission besteht. Dazu wurden mittels qualitativer Interviews Studierende aus den drei
christlichen Hochschulgruppen Bambergs (Studentenmission Deutschland, Evangelischen
Studierendengemeinde und Katholischen Hochschulgemeinde) zu ihrer Glaubenspraxis und
ihrem Glaubensverständnis befragt. Auf Basis der Grounded Theory wurden die Daten
ausgewertet, in verschiedene Dimensionen des Glaubens eingeordnet und vor dem
Hintergrund missionstheologischer Aspekte eines ganzheitlichen Verständnisses von Mission
interpretiert. Auf dieser Grundlage konnten Schlussfolgerungen zum laientheologischen
Verständnis von Mission bei christlichen Studierenden gezogen werden.
Diese empirisch-theologische Arbeit zielt darauf, den Diskurs über ganzheitliche Mission im
studentischen Kontext anzuregen, sowie konkrete Hilfestellungen zur Überwindung der
Diskrepanz zwischen wissenschaftlicher und Laientheologie im studentischen Kontext bzw.
der Arbeit in den Hochschulgruppen zu erarbeiten. / In this research study, the faith praxis of students is examined according to empiricaltheological
principles for aspects of mission in order to ascertain potential connections
between discipliship in practice and the subjective, lay theological understanding of mission.
For this purpose, students from the three Christian groups at Bamberg University, the
International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Germany (Studentenmission
Deutschland), and the Evangelical and Catholic student communities (Evangelische
Studierendengemeinde and Katholische Hochschulgemeinde), were asked to participate in
qualitative interviews about their faith praxis and their understanding of the faith. The data
collected were evaluated using Grounded Theory, classified into diverse categories of faith
dimensions and interpreted with a view towards a wholistic understanding of mission
incorporating mission theology. On this basis, conclusions about the lay theological
understanding of mission among Christian students could be drawn.
This empirical-theological study aims to stimulate the debate about wholistic mission within
the context of students, as well as develop guidelines to overcome the discrepancy between
academic and lay theology and between the ministry of respective student groups / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)
