This book engages with Christian church traditions and disability
issues in Africa, focusing on Zimbabwe in particular. It critically
reflects on how the church has not done much to intentionally
minister 'to and with' persons with disabilities. In the context of
this volume, 'ministering to' is concerned with creating
worshipping space for persons with disabilities; while 'ministering
with' is connecting and identifying with persons with disabilities
to meet their needs from the material life of the church. The
author considers a stewardship model of disability as an
appropriate ministerial response to transform lives in
poverty-stricken postcolonial contexts. The argument put forth is
that the church is a living organism endowed with spiritual and
material resources, and that these resources should be appropriated
to marginalised stakeholders.
