| Summary: | This article explores how the concept of landscapes of practice can be related to the work of the Christian minister. It introduces the meaning of landscapes of practice in the work of Etienne Wenger-Trayner and identifies some general connections between Wenger-Trayner’s approach and the practice of ministry, paying attention to the theological motifs of giftedness and strangers. Wenger-Trayner maintains that landscapes are political, flat and diverse and these themes are explored in more detail with reference to examples of ministerial experience. This leads to consideration of the possibilities of boundaries and some tentative proposals about the value of the insights of landscapes of practices for the work of ministry. |
