Greenbelt: what exactly is it?

We've done a little bit of reading and searched through various sections of the Web site, but we still don't quite get this Greenbelt business. The festival (if that's the right word) drew more than 20,000 people to a race track in Cheltenham, England, for three days of what seems to have been innovative worship and intriguing conversation--and the Church Times takes is seriously!--so we feel we should understand it better than we do.

Is it a good thing? Do we want one in America?
