Including both theoretical discussions and practical information
for congregational use or pastoral use, this rich, accessible book
explores biblical text, historical and theological issues of
disability, and examples of successful ministry by people with
disabilities. Disability, Faith, and the Church: Inclusion and
Accommodation in Contemporary Congregations draws from a range of
Christian theologians, denominational statements, writings of
people with disabilities, and experiences of successful ministries
for people with disabilities to answer the deep need of many
Christian communities: to live out their calling by welcoming all
people. By focusing on 20th- and 21st-century thinkers and
political and religious practices, the book outlines best practices
for congregations and supplies practical information that readers
can apply in classroom or church settings. The author draws on
thinkers from a variety of Christian traditions-including Roman
Catholicism, Episcopalianism, Lutheranism, and the Reform
traditions-to provide a theologically robust discussion that
remains accessible to churchgoers without formal theological
training. Emphasis is placed on connecting formal theological
reflection and the experiences of ordinary people with disabilities
to existing congregational practices and denominational statements,
thereby enabling readers to decide on the best ways to successfully
include people with disabilities into their communities within the
rich and diverse Christian theological tradition. Engages a wide
range of theological traditions and writings on disability within
the Christian tradition Provides disability-focused readings of
biblical texts relevant to disability studies, both as ecclesial
resources and for classroom use Profiles individuals who are
engaged in active ministry and church leadership while living with
disabilities Includes straightforward analysis of complicated
social issues like disability and reproductive rights
