Religion and Disability presents three keynote addresses from the
national symposium, "Ministry Perspectives on Disability." In the
opening essay, noted scripture scholar Donald Senior identifies
certain themes often associated with scripture-such as the
distinction between clean and unclean, and the notion that sin and
guilt somehow cause sickness and disability-that contribute to
non-welcoming attitudes to the disabled. In the second essay, John
Macquarrie draws upon both theological reasoning and personal
experience in reflecting upon the dignity of all persons and how
this principle applies especially to our dealings with the
disabled. Finally, Stanley Hauerwas invokes the ideals of the
Church in calling for a response of love toward persons with mental
handicaps. He helps us imagine a church community enriched by
members who are disabled.
