Abstract

To be human is to dwell within a particular place – from the moment we are, we are “implaced.” Christian education, as person forming communities, should therefore seek to curate, cultivate and celebrate implacement, particularly in a contemporary age where a haunting sense of placelessness shapes our current generation. This chapter invites Christian educators and leaders to restore a theology of place within the academy and explores the high importance of place and how geography, location, community and neighborhoods are actually part of a grander story of God's sovereign purpose in and through creation. This chapter will review and explore a snapshot of the corpus of literature relating to the importance of place as a theological construct and will propose how an understanding and recognition of place can be used as a lens through which to curate the importance of place and implaced embodiment, within our Christian educational communities. The chapter will also explore how principles of place making within Christian education that are grounded in an incarnational posture can reflect and celebrate the significance of the incarnation of Christ whereby "The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood" (John 1:14 MSG).
