| Zusammenfassung: | In this article, the author maintains that place is more than the backdrop for pastoral care, but an active participant. Explaining place attachment and arguing for care shaped by place, the author discusses the importance of place in an intersectional fashion, engaging racism, sexism, and colonialism to explain the importance of place. Turning to a non-utilitarian view of nature as something worthy of love and engagement, the author explains how attachment to place can lead to flourishing. Drawing examples from his own hospice chaplaincy in a fence-line community facing environmental racism and Hurricane Harvey, he uses examples of disrupted place attachment. The author gives suggestions for utilizing place attachment in pastoral theology. |
