Dr. James Butler’s research asks what Christian faith looks like in “edgy” places, exploring the ways in which much learning for faith takes place in informal spaces, in the peripheries, in the everyday conversations and experiences of life. The project complexifies and challenges the language around “edginess” – in relation to intersectional social, economic, and ecclesial edges. Funded by the Susanna Wesley Foundation and the St. Peter’s Saltley Trust, the project identifies 7 sites of “edginess” in which to work: two sites in more socioeconomically “edgy” areas, a group working with prison leavers, a church which had moved from its traditional building to a commercial property just off the High Street, an online group for people with disabilities, a city centre chaplaincy and a network of African diaspora churches. All the sites have brought significant learning and insight, both for their own practice, and for the wider project of exploring faith in edgy spaces.
