Amazing Gifts: Stories of Faith, Disability, and Inclusion is a new
publication by noted religion writer Mark I. Pinsky. Pinsky has
gathered stories from churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples
across the country, "stories of people with disabilities and the
congregations where they have found welcome." He has taken special
care to include the widest range of disabilities, including
non-apparent disabilities like lupus, chronic pain, traumatic brain
injury, depression, and mental illness. There were 54 million
American with disabilities as of 2000, and that number is now being
swelled by wounded warriors from the Afghan and Iraq wars and an
aging population. he author emphasizes that his purpose is to not
to write a resource manual on accessibility and inclusion. Rather,
Pinsky seeks to share stories of how people with disabilities have
experienced their faith in the context of their disability, and how
congregations have gained when they value the gifts that people
with disabilities bring along. "This book," notes the author, "is
for congregational leaders and others who may have no expertise or
personal experience with disability, but who make the
congregational decisions about accessibility and inclusion."
