Abstract
Recent writing has focussed on the “network” dimension of belonging, with the inference that geographical belonging is of more limited importance. This paper examines the continuing significance of the latter concept with reference to the rural English community and Parish Church. Key categories of individuals with a claim to belong in the English countryside are identified and the notion of belonging as a theological concept is expanded. A fourfold model of belonging to activities, people, events and places is developed and used to investigate how the ministry of the Parish Church relates to those who would define themselves as belonging with it.
