520 |a Although the importance of context and particularity has long been recognised in relation to biblical texts, less attention is paid to the particularity and context of congregations. At a time when church franchise programmes are popular and when those are increasingly derived from urban contexts, it is important to defend and describe the particularity and diversity of rural congregations. The Bible contains many interesting and varied pictures and images of the Church, but recent scholarship has rarely pursued their implications. A sense of place is important in theology, and it is unfair to deny congregations the opportunity to explore options for theological description and so to help them establish and explore their own theological particularity. Biblical narrative may also be helpful in this regard and two examples are given from the author’s own experience: the Remnant Church and the Pentecost Church, as a prompt to further discussion.
