Abstract

The rural church primary school exists in a nexus of connections between school, home, and the institutional Church (parochial, diocesan, and national). This article applies Walker’s model of belonging to God through church to the sense of belonging expressed by families whose children attend a rural Church of England primary school. The data drawn from the Faith in the Nexus project undertaken at Canterbury Christ Church University, consists of 24 semi-structured focus group interviews, and 8 individual interviews with school and church leaders from parents, school staff, clergy, and governors across five rural Church of England primary schools. The findings highlight how rural church school families develop and sustain a sense of belonging through events, people, place, and activities. The discussion considers the value of Walker’s model of belonging, the fragility of the rural nexus and a need to acknowledge the relational nature of belonginess expressed by parents and pupils.
在乡村关系中优先考虑归属感:五所乡村教会小学的实证研究
乡村教会小学存在于学校、家庭和机构教会(教区、教区和国家)之间的联系中。本文将沃克通过教会归属上帝的模式应用于孩子就读英格兰乡村教会小学的家庭所表达的归属感。数据来自坎特伯雷基督教堂大学进行的“Nexus的信仰”项目,包括24个半结构化的焦点小组访谈,以及8个对学校和教会领袖的个人访谈,包括家长、学校员工、神职人员和五所乡村英格兰教会小学的管理者。研究结果强调了农村教会学校家庭如何通过事件、人、地点和活动来发展和维持归属感。讨论考虑了Walker的归属感模型的价值,农村联系的脆弱性,以及承认父母和学生表达的归属感的关系本质的需要。
