Abstract
AbstractThe practice of brownfield rehabilitation for community use by a church in a context of urban poverty in Glasgow, Scotland is explored through action research to assess its capacity for practical and spiritual grassroots empowerment within the Pentecostal/charismatic tradition. The schema offered is one way of modelling a socially and environmentally engaged learning and empowerment cycle oriented towards creation care and the land, evidencing potential as (1) a missional approach with rich scope for connecting church, community and scripture in new ways, (2) a way of enabling young people in urban contexts to overcome nature-deficit disorder, (3) a tool for political empowerment or “avant-gardening” (Lam-bourne-Wilson), (4) insurgent planning from the margins (Sandercock), and (5) an example of Pentecostal conscientisation broadly affirming of Bridges Johns’ approach, but modulated contextually to serve the need for a Pentecostal/charismatic eco-theology.
