Abstract
ABSTRACTA theological reflection on homelessness in relation to belonging and identity is presented. The paper focuses on how the theory of the extended self can provide a possible pathway towards a clearer definition of homelessness. The current definitions of homelessness including theological writing on the topic are reviewed. The specific context is the author’s experience of working in homeless residential hostels run by The Salvation Army, and now as a learning and development specialist for The Salvation Army. An outcome is to sketch out possible changes to practice for The Salvation Army in particular and for homeless work in general based on a redescription of homelessness.
