“I Should Be Closer to God Because of This”—A Case Study of Embodied Narratives and Spiritual Reconstruction in Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke RehabilitationThis instrumental case study demonstrates the need for patients to be able to draw upon their own spiritual and religious vocabularies in order to reconstruct narrative self-continuity in the wake of debilitating illness. Through the presentation of case material taken from a series of semi-structured interviews with a 77-year-old female Roman Catholic patient who suffered a crisis of faith following a spinal cord injury and a stroke, the author illustrates key aspects of life history and religious beliefs and practices—such as lives of the saints, devotions, mystical experiences, sacred time, sacred symbols, and sacred space—to engage narrative ethics around typologies and therapeutic plots supplied by others. Narrative analysis of such discursive resources from the perspective of spiritual health can help inter-professional healthcare teams understand more fully patient needs and holistic best practices within rehabilitation environments.Mundle, Robert. “I Should Be Closer To God Because of This”—A Case Study of Embodied Narratives and Spiritual Reconstruction in Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke Rehabilitation.

“Let the Children (With Down Syndrome) Come to Me”: God’s Shalom and the Radical Hospitality of the ChurchThis article examines the current selective abortion of fetuses with Down syndrome and understands this phenomenon as a result of late modernity’s concept of the good life being grounded in autonomy and a choosing self. In contrast, God’s shalom presents a counter-narrative of eschatological hospitality. Ephesians 2:11-22 proclaims a welcome that brings those previously considered outliers into the “new humanity” of the koinonia. This essay argues that the church has an opportunity to witness to society’s devaluing of persons with Down syndrome by intentionally seeking to adopt them into their faith communities. This approach not only provides a home for the rejected, but facilitates the church’s transformation into a people who personify reconciliation and unity. The communities of L’Arche exist as embodiments of God’s eschatological hospitality and potentially stand as mentors for the church in performing this radical act of welcome.Greig, Jason Reimer. “Let the Children (With Down Syndrome) Come to Me”: God’s Shalom and the Radical Hospitality of the Church.

“You Shall Not Murder”: Atos at the Paralympic GamesAt the London 2012 Paralympic Games, a controversy arose regarding Paralympic sponsor Atos, the French IT company contracted at £400 million to implement the UK Government’s Work Capability Assessment. Atos was accused of falling short of professional codes of conduct, including declaring fit for work persons who subsequently died following removal of their benefits. The disability rights group Disabled People Against Cuts held UK-wide protests at Atos offices in Cardiff, Glasgow, Belfast, and London. I argue that rather than responding positively to the protests, the International Paralympic Committee is causing damage to the Disabled People’s Movement. To build the argument within a theological context, the Biblical story of Cain’s slaying of his brother Abel is applied to help understand the relationship between the International Paralympic Committee and the Disabled People’s Movement, respectively.Braye, Stuart. “You Shall Not Murder”: Atos at the Paralympic Games.

Vacillating between hope and despair, and increasingly aware of the impact caring for a child like Noah would have on their lives, the anguished Greenfeld family journeyed from New York to Connecticut to California in search of helpGreenfeld, Josh.

A Christian Ontology of Genetic Disease and DisorderThis article will present an ontology of the human person that is predicated upon a Christian understanding of God the Creator. It argues that defining ontological personhood in relation to God is essential for determining how Christians should understand personhood and human nature and their relation to genetic disease and disorder within human life. To show how a theological account of ontology can influence genetic debates, the article first explores why it is necessary to define personhood as an ontological reality granted by God in creation. Next, the article discusses how we ought to understand human nature in relation to fallenness and sin. Finally, the article explores how our vision of resurrected bodies within the Kingdom of God can inform our treatment of those living with genetic diseases and disorders in our present communities. Within the classic Creation–Fall–Redemption narrative, the article focuses on the status of individuals whose bodies are often deemed subhuman by our contemporary definitions of personhood.Stahl, Devan Joy.

A Constructive Theology of Intellectual Disability: Human Being as Mutuality and ResponseThis book asks, on behalf of individuals with profound Intellectual disabilities, what it means to be human. That question has traditionally been answered with an emphasis on an Intellectual capacity—the ability to employ concepts or to make moral choices—and has ignored the value of individuals who lack such Intellectual capacities. The book suggests, rather, that human beings be understood in terms of participation in relationships of mutual responsiveness, which includes but is not limited to Intellectual forms of communicating. The book supports its argument by developing a phenomenology of how an individual with a profound Intellectual disability relates, drawn from clinical experience as a Physical therapist. The book thereby demonstrates that these individuals participate in relationships of mutual responsiveness, though in nonsymbolic, bodily ways. To be human, to image God, it argues, is to respond to the world around us in any number of ways, bodily or symbolically. Such an understanding does not exclude people with Intellectual disabilities but rather includes them among those who participate in the image of God.Haslam, Molly Claire.

Shamy draws heavily upon her experience, making this book very personal in its approach. I appreciated this style, feeling that the anecdotes anchor the book in the realm of what can be done rather than the theoretical world of the “maybes”. The main concepts of the book, those of spirituality, retained through dementia, and personal worth should be acceptable to people of most world faiths.’Shamy, Eileen.

A Narrative Account of Abundant Life With MentalHow might abundant life be evident even in the midst of mental illness? The present article begins with an exploration of the meaning of Christ’s words in John 10:10. The author then considers biographical narrative as a means by which to consider the possibility of abundant life in the context of mental illness. The author shares select events from the life of her sister, now deceased, who had severe mental illness and multiple other impairments. Her sister’s use of humor was described as evidence of joy despite mental illness, as well as her sister’s desire to bring joy to others.Webb, Marcia.

A Review of “Receiving the Gift of Friendship: Profound Disability, Theological Anthropology, and Ethics”Does what we are capable of doing define us as human beings? If this basic anthropological assumption is true, where can that leave those with Intellectual disabilities, unable to accomplish the things that we propose give us our very humanity? Hans Reinders here makes an unusual claim about unusual people: those who are profoundly disabled are people just like the rest of us. He acknowledges that, at first glance, this is not an unusual claim given the steps taken within the last few decades to bring the rights of those with disabilities into line with the rights of the mainstream. But, he argues, that cannot be the end of the matter, because the disabled are human beings before they are citizens. “To live a human life properly,” he says, “they must not only be included in our institutions and have access to our public spaces; they must also be included in other people’s lives, not just by natural necessity but by choice.” Receiving the Gift of Friendship consists of three parts: (1) Profound Disability, (2) Theology, and (3) Ethics. Overturning the “commonsense” view of human beings, Reinders’s argument for a paradigm shift in our relation to people with disabilities is founded on a groundbreaking philosophical-theological consideration of humanity and of our basic human commonality. Moreover, Reinders gives his study human vividness and warmth with stories of the profoundly disabled from his own life and from the work of Jean Vanier and Henri Nouwen in L’Arche communities.Reinders, Hans S.

Accessible Atonement: Disability, Theology, and the Cross of ChristThe atonement—where God in Jesus Christ addresses sin and the whole of the human predicament—lies at the heart of the Christian faith and life. Its saving power is for all people, and yet a deep hesitancy has prevented meaningful discussion of the cross’ relevance for people with disabilities. Speaking of disability and the multifaceted concept of the atonement has created an unresolvable tension, not least because sin and disability often seem to be associated within the biblical text. While work in disability theology has made great progress in developing a positive theological framework for disability as an integral part of human diversity, it has so far fallen short of grappling with this particular set of interpretive challenges presented by the cross. In Accessible Atonement, reflecting on his experience as both a pastor and a theologian, David McLachlan brings the themes and objectives of disability theology into close conversation with traditional ideas of the cross as Jesus’ sacrifice, justice, and victory. From this conversation emerges an account of the atonement as God’s deepest, once-for-all participation in both the moral and contingent risk of creation, where all that alienates us from God and each other is addressed. Such an atonement is inherently inclusive of all people and is not one that is extended to disability as a “special case.” This approach to the atonement opens up space to address both the redemption of sin and the possibilities of spiritual and bodily healing. What McLachlan leads us to discover is that, when revisited in this way, the cross—perhaps surprisingly—becomes the cornerstone of Christian disability theology and the foundation of many of its arguments. Far from excluding those who find themselves Physically or Mentally outside of assumed “norms,” the atoning death of Christ creates a vital space of inclusion and affirmation for such persons within the life of the church.McLachlan, David.

The interviews reveal that the major concerns of stroke survivors are a desire for community and purpose. Church communities view the problems of a stroke survivor through a medical model of disability rather than a social model, a perspective that results in stroke survivors receiving support during their rehabilitation but not when they return home. Participant observation of church services reveals that they are very poor places for communication, especially for those who have communication impairments.Goetz, Peggy J., and Marie Bloem.

Aspects of Spirituality and Life Satisfaction in Persons With Down SyndromeIn a cross-sectional survey among 65 persons with Down syndrome, the authors intended to identify emotional and behavioral aspects of spirituality that were of importance to them. Feelings of wondering awe, praying, and church attendance were stated rather seldom, whereas many had frequent experiences of gratefulness. Those living without their parents were more in need of concrete personal relationships and relied on transcendent sources of help. Life satisfaction correlated best with feelings that God is at their side. Although the relational aspects of spirituality were of particular importance to those in our sample, it remains uncertain who can support these essential needs when many of them lack reliable family structures.Bussing, Arndt, Broghammer-Escher, Silke, Baumann, Klaus, and Janusz Surzykiewicz.

Autism and AlleluiasIn the past two or three years, autism has garnered stories in TIME, Newsweek, and USA Today. According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau figures, 1 in 150 American children have autism, and the numbers are growing daily (an increase of 13% over the past ten years). Difficult behaviors, a myriad of specialists, problems with schools, special diets this developmental disability turns a family’s world upside-down. What is the role that faith plays in helping families cope? Is it possible to sing alleluia in the midst of a very real adversity? In this series of slice-of-life vignettes, God’s grace glimmers through the shadows as Joel, an intellectually challenged teen with autism, teaches those who love him that walking the labyrinth of life requires childlike faith, humility, trust, compassion, forgiveness, and an attitude of openness to all of God s gifts.Bolduc, Kathleen.

Becoming Friends of Time: Disability, Timefullness, and Gentle DiscipleshipTime is central to all that humans do. Time structures days, provides goals, shapes dreams—and limits lives. Time appears to be tangible, real, and progressive, but, in the end, time proves illusory. Though mercurial, time can be deadly for those with disabilities. To participate fully in human society has come to mean yielding to the criterion of the clock. The absence of thinking rapidly, living punctually, and biographical narration leaves persons with disabilities vulnerable. A worldview driven by the demands the clock makes on the lives of those with Dementia or profound neurological and Intellectual disabilities seems pointless. And yet, Jesus comes to the world to transform time. Jesus calls us to slow Down Syndrome, take time, and learn to recognize the strangeness of living within God’s time. He calls us to be gentle, patient, kind; to walk slowly and timefully with those whom society desires to leave behind. In Becoming Friends of Time, John Swinton crafts a theology of time that draws us toward a perspective wherein time is a gift and a calling. Time is not a commodity nor is time to be mastered. Time is a gift of God to humans, but is also a gift given back to God by humans. Swinton wrestles with critical questions that emerge from theological reflection on time and disability: rethinking doctrine for those who can never grasp Jesus with their intellects; reimagining discipleship and vocation for those who have forgotten who Jesus is; reconsidering salvation for those who, due to neurological damage, can be one person at one time and then be someone else in an instant. In the end, Swinton invites the reader to spend time with the experiences of people with profound neurological disability, people who can change our perceptions of time, enable us to grasp the fruitful rhythms of God’s time, and help us learn to live in ways that are unimaginable within the boundaries of the time of the clock.Swinton, John.

Becoming Friends: Worship, Justice, and the Practice of Christian FriendshipHow do Christians understand friendship and intimacy? How does worship form Christians into a community of the friends of God? What virtues does God call us to incorporate into our lives? In Becoming Friends, Paul Wadell explores the connections between worship, justice, friendship, and the life we are called to live. This engaging and accessible book offers a fresh viewpoint from which to explore the nature of Christian friendship. Such friendship, Wadell contends, is more than a bonding of people with similar interests, a “ritual of hopeless consolation.” True Christian friendship summons us to love all of our neighbors. Wadell examines obstacles to and characteristics of true friendship and, drawing from the works of Augustine, Aelred of Rievaulx, and other Christian exemplars, contends that we are called to serve God through friendship and that this calling requires us to cultivate certain virtues–especially hope, justice, and forgiveness.Wadell, Paul J.

Becoming the Baptized Body: Disability and the Practice of Christian CommunityIn Becoming the Baptized Body Sarah Jean Barton explores how baptismal theologies and practices shape Christian imagination, identity, and community. Privileging perspectives informed by disability experience through theological qualitative research, Becoming the Baptized Body demonstrates how theology done together can expansively enliven imagination around baptismal practices and how they intersect with the human experience of disability. Through a lively tapestry of stories, theological insights, and partnerships with Christians who experience intellectual disability, Barton resists theological abstraction and engages and expands the field of disability theology.Barton, Sarah Jean.

Beyond Accessibility: Toward Full Inclusion People With Disabilities in Faith CommunitiesAs much as I like Webb-Mitchell’s earlier book, Unexpected Guests at God’s Banquet, this newer book goes further in explaining how faith communities can become more authentically inclusive. Make no mistake: This book also explores biblical grounds for such an effort. Webb-Mitchell beautifully develops concepts such as hospitality, mutuality and the body of believers—and takes us deeper. Beyond simple acceptance and creating accessibility by removing barriers of architecture and communication, he shows how to bring about a deeper communion of the saints by describing inclusive congregational practices.Webb-Mitchell, Brett.

Biblical Corpora: Representations of Disability in Hebrew Biblical LiteratureThe book is organized by genre of biblical literature. First, the priestly literature articulates a binary concept of disability as impure and passive, i.e. as ‘other’ to the pure, holy, and active. By contrast, in the prophetic literature and the Psalms, images of disability structure communication among God, prophets, leaders, and people. Here, disability does not simply mean impurity; its valuation depends on its possessor. Wisdom literature and narrative present figures (e.g. Job, Mephibosheth) whose innate or acquired disabilities are nevertheless placed, and not simply as impurities, within cosmic and social order. Although priestly literature seems anomalous, all strata of biblical literature use disability imagery not primarily to represent disabled persons, but mainly to represent the power of Israel’s God. Physical norms and disability thus play a pervasive and previously neglected role in biblical categories of holy/unholy, pure/impure, election/rejection, and God/idols. This book provides a literary critical method focused on representation in the canonical form of the text allows a comprehensive view of how images of disability operate in relation to major concepts, and also provides a foundation for studies in the history of interpretation. All discussion of biblical passages and books draw on existing historical studies as a necessary precondition for understanding.Raphael, Rebecca, Biblical Corpora.

Body and Character in Luke and ActsEarly Christian developed in a world where moral significance was often judged based upon Physical appearance alone. Exploring the manifestations of this ancient “science” of physiognomy, Parsons rightly shows how Greco-Roman society, and by consequence the author of Luke and Acts, was steeped in this tradition. Luke, however, employs these principles in his writings in order to subvert the paradigm. Using as examples the bent woman (Luke 13), Zacchaeus (Luke 18), the lame man (Acts 3-4), and the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8), Parsons shows that the Christian community—both early and present-day—is established only in the image of Jesus Christ.Parsons, Mikeal C.

Calling for a Time-Out: The Theology of Disability Sport and the Broader Understanding of CompetitionThe author seeks to interrogate technological trends in economic competition by means of theological reflection on the practices of disability sport, particularly the Special Olympics. He discusses the increasing influence of an algorithmic rationale that has been established in mainstream sport within wider society, especially in the economic sphere. The capturing of time is the critical connection between these sporting endeavors and the capitalist initiative. The author aims to demonstrate that a theological analysis of this phenomenon is enabled by placing the specific intentions and practices of Special Olympians at the center of our consideration.Hargaden, Kevin.

Challenges From the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities: Access to Theology and Church Practice in the Church of NorwayUnderstandings of disability and impairments have changed over the last decades both in society and in academia. Policy and law have evolved toward the objectives of non-discrimination and equal access. Norway ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2013. Article e of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (General Principles) emphasizes respect for inherent dignity, nondiscrimination, and difference. The World Council of Churches emphasized the importance of equal right to access and citizenship in the valuable interim statement launched by the Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network in 2003, “A Church of All and for All.” The author investigates to what extent these changes have influenced church practice in Norway. Norway has a state church organization, which is a Lutheran folk church. Approximately 74% of the population are members of the church of Norway. The author discusses understandings of disability and access to ministry in the Church of Norway, between 1997 and 2014, based on the church’s recruitment policy. Church documents have been studied, and the heads of the practical theological seminaries have been interviewed. The findings indicate that disability is grossly omitted, and when mentioned, a medical definition of disability seems to be presupposed. Influence from United Nations documents and World Council of Churches policy documents remain scarce. Disability is approached as a topic of inclusion of lay people. Disability is infrequently recognized as a basis for discrimination or as a critical hermeneutical category. A distinct theological engagement in the new understandings of disability as social and relational might pave the way for a theology of access and recognition of the equal status of people with disabilities.Lid, Inger Marie.

Change: Participation in Religious Services for People With Developmental DisabilitiesIn this qualitative study we look critically at the opportunity for participation in religious services for people with developmental disabilities from three perspectives: house managers (n = 4), church leaders (n = 6), and people with developmental disabilities residing in group homes (n = 25). Observations were also made at several church services attended by the group home residents. Results suggest that people with developmental disabilities want to go to church and enjoy religious worship. Their full inclusion in activities and developing friendships, however, appears to be quite limited due to the conflicting expectations of house managers and church leaders, the lack of transportation or support staff, and the stereotypical attitudes towards people with developmental disabilitiesMinton, C.

Chinese Special Needs Adoption, Demand, and the Global Politics of DisabilityThis article explores three related phenomena: first, the abandonment and institutionalization of children with disabilities in China that increased disproportionately in the 2000s; second, the important relationships between such abandonments, culture, economics, and politics in contemporary China; and third, the relationship between such abandonments, the increasing rates at which Chinese orphans with disabilities are being adopted to Western countries through Inter-country Adoption (ICA), and the global politics of ICA and disability. Although the rise in the proportion of ICA from China of “children with special needs” is widely acknowledged, the reasons for the recent increase in abandonments of children with disabilities have been largely analyzed from the perspective of Chinese cultural views regarding disability (Holroyd 2003; Qian 2014), market economics (Wang 2016), the lack of Chinese government support for services for families (Shang 2008), as well as government coercion (Johnson 2016), thus, relatively divorced from the demand side of ICA. However, this article highlights the relationship between the disproportionate abandonment of children with disabilities in China and their increasing rate of ICA from China, arguing that discrimination toward persons with disabilities, or ableism, is not merely operative in abandonments of Chinese children with disabilities, but also embedded in the global politics of ICA.Erin Rafferty. 2019. “Chinese Special Needs Adoption, Demand, and the Global Politics of Disability.” Disability Studies Quarterly 39(2)https://dsq-sds.org/article/view/6662/5249OtherChristianityJournal Article

Communities of Celebration That Reawaken DesireThe title I was given for this presentation was Spirituality and People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. My opening question is: Whose spiritual needs are we really talking about? To explore that, let me share a bit of my own journey that may parallel your own. For some of you, perhaps your first lessons about the spirituality of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families came from stories of spiritual pain and wounded hearts. Their spiritual stories were defined by experiences of hurt and exclusion from the very faith communities in which they had previously found hope and love.Gaventa, Bill.

Critical Reflections on Stanley Hauerwas’ Theology of Disability: Disabling Society, Enabling TheologyCritical Reflections on Stanley Hauerwas’ Theology of Disability: Disabling Society, Enabling Theology examines the influential writings of one of the most important contemporary theologians. Over the past thirty years, Time magazine Theologian of the Year (2001) Dr. Stanley Hauerwas has consistently presented a theological position which values the deep theological significance of people with Developmental disabilities, as well as their importance to the life and the faithfulness of the church. Ten key Hauerwas essays on disability are brought together in a single volume—essays which reflect and illustrate his thinking on the theology of disability, along with responses to each essay from multidisciplinary authoritative sources including Jean Vanier, Michael Bérubé, John O’Brien and Ray S. Anderson.Swinton, John. (Ed.). Critical Reflections on Stanley Hauerwas’ Theology of Disability: Disabling Society, Enabling Theology.

Developmental Disabilities and Sacramental Access: New Paradigms for Sacramental EncountersIs a developmental disability an appropriate reason to bar a baptized person from the sacraments? This is the disturbing question that generated this book. The pastoral reality is that Roman Catholics with developmental disabilities are often barred from sacraments. Sometimes they are subject to discrimination or face unusual obstacles in the sacramental life of the Church. This volume, collaboratively written by pastoral theologians from Catholic Theological Union and the Special Religious Education Office of the Archdiocese of Chicago, addresses these issues. Punctuated with true stories of shame and triumph, this volume grapples with real issues that daily confront Catholics with developmental disabilities. With a breadth of scholarship that ranges from biblical perspectives to ethical and canonical issues, the authors demonstrate how people with developmental disabilities need to embraced by the Church and its sacraments, for they teach us something central about sacramental encounters.Foley, Edward.

Disability and Christian Theology: Embodied Limits and Constructive PossibilitiesAttention to embodiment and the religious significance of bodies is one of the most significant shifts in contemporary theology. In the midst of this, however, experiences of disability have received little attention. This book explores possibilities for theological engagement with disability, focusing on three primary alternatives: challenging existing theological models to engage with the disabled body, considering possibilities for a disability liberation theology, and exploring new theological options based on an understanding of the unsurprisingness of human limits. The overarching perspective of this book is that limits are an unavoidable aspect of being human. In addition, since most of us also experience limits that take the form of disability at some point in our lives; could be described as disability is more “normal” than non-disability. If we take such experiences seriously and refuse to reduce them to mere instances of suffering or randomness, we discover insights that are lost when we take a perfect or generic body as our starting point for theological reflections. While possible applications of this insight are vast, this work focuses on two areas of particular interest: theological anthropology and metaphors for God. This project challenges theology to consider the undeniable diversity of human embodiment. It also enriches previous disability work by providing an alternative to the dominant medical and minority models, both of which fail to acknowledge the full diversity of disability experiences. Most notably, this project offers new images and possibilities for theological construction that attend appropriately and creatively to diversity in human embodiment.Creamer, Deborah Beth.

Disability and ChristianityReflecting on our experience as educators in a semester long “Disability and Christian Ministry” mini-course with ministerial students from Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS) and Career and Community Studies (CCS) students with I/DD from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in Spring 2020, we illuminate the critical role the Spirit and togetherness play in confronting covert ableism in the classroom, disrupting conventional values and power dynamics, and cultivating a new ethos for mutual ministry and leadership. We argue that the dynamic, experiential, and collaborative learning process in the mini- course encouraged students to take greater shared responsibility for their learning in the classroom, equipping them for ministerial leadership by allowing them to experience mutual leadership with one another. The leadership of the Spirit, through the spontaneous distribution of gifts, reconstituted the body, helping PTS and CCS students see themselves as full partners in ministry. However, this article also puts our course in conversation with the broader literature on disability and theological education, emphasizing the need for theological educators to embrace inclusive, experiential theological education as a site for justice and transformation. We make the argument that theological educators, seminaries, and divinity schools must not be satisfied with social programming, community living, or fellowship opportunities with persons with disabilities, but must receive the ministry of people with disabilities in the classroom in order that theological education may be rid of its ableist biases and transformed from the inside out. By withholding classroom space from students with disabilities, theological institutions restrict the dynamic work of the Spirit from the practice of education, hampering the heart of theological education.Erin Rafferty and John Swinton. 2021. “Disability and Christianity.” In Christianity & Psychiatry, Ed.

Disability and the Church: A Vision for Diversity and InclusionLamar Hardwick was thirty-six years old when he found out he was on the autism spectrum. While this revelation helped him understand and process his own experience, it also prompted a difficult re-evaluation of who he was as a person. And as a pastor, it started him on a new path of considering the way disabled people are treated in the church. Disability and the Church is a practical and theological reconsideration of the church’s responsibilities to the disabled community. Too often disabled persons are pushed away from the church or made to feel unwelcome in any number of ways. As Hardwick writes, “This should not be.” He insists that the good news of Jesus affirms God’s image in all people, and he offers practical steps and strategies to build stronger, truly inclusive communities of faith.Hardwick, Lamar.

Disability and the Way of Jesus: Holistic Healing in the Gospels and the ChurchThe Gospels are filled with accounts of Jesus offering Physical healing. But even as churches today seek to follow the way of Jesus, people with disabilities all too often experience the very opposite of healing and life-giving community: exclusion, judgment, barriers. Misinterpretation and misapplication of biblical healing narratives can do great damage, yet those who take the Bible seriously mustn’t avoid these passages either. Bethany McKinney Fox believes that Christian communities are better off when people with disabilities are an integral part of our common life. In Disability and the Way of Jesus, she considers how the stories of Jesus’ healings can guide us toward mutual thriving. How did Jesus’ original audience understand his works of healing, and how should we relate to these texts today? After examining the healing narratives in their biblical and cultural contexts, Fox considers perspectives from medical doctors, disability scholars, and pastors to more fully understand what Jesus does as he heals and how he points the way for relationships with people with disabilities. Personal reflections from Christians with disabilities are featured throughout the book, which concludes with suggestions for concrete practices adaptable to a variety of church settings. Bridging biblical studies, ethics, and disability studies with the work of practitioners, Fox provides a unique resource that is both theologically grounded and winsomely practical. Disability and the Way of Jesus provides new lenses on holistic healing for scholars, laypeople, and ministry leaders who care about welcoming all people as Jesus would.McKinney-Fox, Bethany.

Disability in Medieval Christian Philosophy and TheologyThis book uses the tools of analytic philosophy and close readings of medieval Christian philosophical and theological texts in order to survey what these thinkers said about what today we call ‘disability.’ The chapters also compare what these medieval authors say with modern and contemporary philosophers and theologians of disability. This dual approach enriches our understanding of the history of disability in medieval Christian philosophy and theology and opens up new avenues of research for contemporary scholars working on disability. The volume is divided into three parts. Part One addresses theoretical frameworks regarding disability, particularly on questions about the definition(s) of ‘disability’ and how disability relates to well-being. The chapters are then divided into two further parts in order to reflect ways that medieval philosophers and theologians theorized about disability. Part Two is on disability in this life, and Part Three is on disability in the afterlife. Taken as a whole, these chapters support two general observations. First, these philosophical theologians sometimes resist Greco-Roman ableist views by means of theological and philosophical anti-ableist arguments and counterexamples. Here we find some surprising disability-positive perspectives that are built into different accounts of a happy human life. We also find equal dignity of all human beings no matter ability or disability. Second, some of the seeds for modern and contemporary ableist views were developed in medieval Christian philosophy and theology, especially with regard to personhood and rationality, an Intellectualist interpretation of the imago Dei, and the identification of human dignity with the use of reason. This volume surveys disability across a wide range of medieval Christian writers from the time of Augustine up to Francisco Suarez.Williams, Scott M. (Ed.).

Disability in the Christian Tradition: A ReaderFor two millennia Christians have thought about what human impairment is and how faith communities and society should respond to people with perceived impairments. However, never before has one volume collected the most significant Christian thinkers’ writings on disability. Brian Brock and John Swinton have answered this need with Disability in the Christian Tradition. This book brings together for the first time the views of renowned Christian leaders throughout history – including Augustine, Aquinas, Julian of Norwich, Luther, Calvin, Hegel, Kierkegaard, van den Bergh, Bonhoeffer, Barth, Vanier, and Hauerwas. Fourteen experts in theology and disability studies guide readers through each era or group of thinkers, offering clear commentary and highlighting important themes.Brock, Brian and John Swinton.

Disability in the Hebrew Bible: Interpreting Mental and Physical DifferencesMental and Physical disability, ubiquitous in texts of the Hebrew Bible, receive their first thoroughgoing treatment in this monograph. Olyan seeks to reconstruct the Hebrew Bible’s particular ideas of what is disabling and their potential social ramifications. Biblical representations of disability and biblical classification schemas – both explicit and implicit – are compared to those of the Hebrew Bible’s larger ancient West Asian cultural context, and to those of the later Jewish biblical interpreters who produced the Dead Sea Scrolls. This study will help the reader gain a deeper and more subtle understanding of the ways in which biblical writers constructed hierarchically significant difference and privileged certain groups (e.g., persons with “whole” bodies) over others (e.g., persons with Physical “defects”). It also explores how ancient interpreters of the Hebrew Bible such as the Qumran sectarians reproduced and reconfigured earlier biblical notions of disability and earlier classification models for their own contexts and ends.Olyan, Saul M.

Disability Studies and the Hebrew Bible: Figuring Mephibosheth in the David StoryThis unique interdisciplinary book uses a fresh approach to explore issues of disability in the Hebrew Bible. It examines how disability functions in the David Story (1 Samuel 16; 1 Kings 2) by paying special attention to Mephibosheth, the only biblical character with a disability as a sustained character trait. The David Story contains some of the Bible’s most striking images of disability. Nonetheless, interpreters tend to focus on legal material rather than narratives when studying disability in the Hebrew Bible. Often, they neglect the David Story’s complex use of disability. They overlook its use of disability imagery as open to critical interpretation because its stereotypical meanings may seem so commonplace and transparent. Yet recent work in the burgeoning field of disability studies presents disability as a complicated motif that demands more critical engagement than it typically receives. Informed by exciting developments in the field, it argues that the David Story employs disability imagery as a subtle mode of narrating and organizing various ideological positions regarding national identity.Schipper, Jeremy. 2006.

Disability TheologyDisability theology explores the ways in which religious traditions have engaged (or failed to engage) notions of disability and impairment, and offers constructive possibilities for inclusive theological work in the future. This essay reviews four primary models of disability (moral model, medical model, social model, and limits model) and explores how these relate to religious understandings and practices. The image of the Disabled God is highlighted, as are the ways this field has come to engage varieties of disability experience (including cognitive disabilities and autism) and diversity more broadly. Philosophical notions (such as those around normalcy or human flourishing) are explored alongside advocacy and access issues (particularly with regard to religious practices such as preaching, religious education, and biblical interpretation). Future possibilities and directions for disability theology are also proposed.Creamer, DB. “Disability Theology.” Religion Compass 6, no. 7 (2012): 339-346.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Disability, Faith and the Church: Inclusion and Accommodation in Contemporary CongregationsDisability, 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.Wilder, Courtney.

Disability, Providence, and Ethics: Bridging Gaps, Transforming LivesHuman disability raises the hardest questions of human existence and leads directly to the problem of causality—the underlying intuition that someone, divine or human, must have been at fault. Christian theology has responded with almost singular attention to Providence, the expression of divine will in the world as the cause of all things. This preoccupation holds captive the Christian imagination, leaving the Church ill equipped to engage the human reality of disability. Theological reflection, argues Hans Reinders, can arise only as a second-order activity that follows after real attention to the experience of disability. Disability, Providence, and Ethics offers a more excellent way to address this difficult subject. Reinders guides readers away from an identification of disability with tragedy—via lament—to the possibility of theological hope and its expression of God’s presence. In particular, Reinders reconsiders two of the main traditional sources in Christian thought about Providence, the biblical text of Job and the theological work of John Calvin. Throughout the book, first-person accounts of disability open up biblical texts and Christian theology—rather than the other way around. In the end, a theology of Providence begins with the presence of the Spirit, not with the problem of causality.Reinders, Hans S. Disability, Providence, and Ethics: Bridging Gaps, Transforming Lives.

Disability’s Challenge to Theology: Genes, Eugenics, and the Metaphysics of Modern MedicineThis book uses insights from disability studies to understand in a deeper way the ethical implications that genetic technologies pose for Christian thought.Theologians have been debating genetic engineering for decades, but what has been missing from many theological debates is a deep concern for persons with genetic disabilities. In this ambitious and stimulating book, Devan Stahl argues that engagement with metaphysics and a theology of nature is crucial for Christians to evaluate both genetic science and the moral use of genetic technologies, such as human genetic engineering, gene therapy, genetic screenings, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and gene editing. Using theological notions of creation ex nihilo and natural law alongside insights from disability studies, the book seeks to recast the debate concerning genetic well-being. Following the work of Stanley Hauerwas, Stahl proposes the church as the locus for reimagining disability in a way that will significantly influence the debates concerning genetic therapies.Stahl’s project in “genethics” proceeds with an acute awareness of her own liberal Protestant tradition’s early embrace of the eugenics movement in the name of scientific and medical advancement, and it constructively engages the Catholic tradition’s metaphysical approach to questions in bioethics to surpass limitations to Protestant thinking on natural law. Christianity has all too frequently been complicit in excluding, degrading, and marginalizing people with disabilities, but the new Christian metaphysics developed here by way of disability perspectives provides normative, theological guidance on the use of genetic technologies today. As Stahl shows in her study, only by heeding the voices of people with disabilities can Christians remain faithful to the call to find Christ in “the least of these” and from there draw close to God. This book will be of interest to scholars in Christian ethics, bioethics, moral theology, and practical theology.Stahl, D. (2022).

Disabled Church, Disabled Society. The Implications of Autism for Philosophy, Theology and PoliticsIn this moving and intelligent book John Gillibrand, an Anglican priest, draws on his experience of caring for his non-verbal son, Adam, who has Autism and is now a teenager. He reflects on how the experience has changed not just his life, but also his whole way of thinking about theology, politics and philosophy. Illuminated by an account of his day to day experiences with Adam, and deeper reflection upon the meaning of that experience, John Gillibrand considers the challenges that Autism – and disability in general – present to the western tradition of thought in theology and philosophy. His experiences lead him to consider the place of people with Autism in relation to religion and philosophy, and how the difficulties in providing adequate public services for those with Autism and their carers point to a need for radical transformation of western political structures. This thoughtful and incisive book will be of interest to theologians, philosophers and sociologists, as well as to all those trying to integrate people with Autism into society. Parents and carers will find much to reflect on.Gillibrand, John. Disabled Church, Disabled Society.

Disabling Mission, Enabling Witness: Exploring Missiology Through the Lens of Disability StudiesIn recent decades churches have accommodated people with disabilities in various ways. Through access ramps and elevators and sign language, disabled persons are invited in to worship. But are they actually enfolded into the church’s mission? Have the able-bodied come to recognize and appreciate the potential contributions of people with disabilities in the ministry and witness of the church? Benjamin Conner wants to stimulate a new conversation between disability studies and Christian theology and missiology. How can we shape a new vision of the entire body of Christ sharing in the witness of the church? How would it look if we “disabled” Christian theology, discipleship, and theological education? Conner argues that it would in fact enable congregational witness. He has seen it happen and he shows us how. Imagine a church that fully incorporates persons with disabilities into its mission and witness. In this vision, people with disabilities contribute to the church’s pluriform witness, and the congregation embodies a robust hermeneutic of the gospel. Picture the entire body of Christ functioning beyond distinctions of dis/ability, promoting mutual flourishing and growing into fullness. Here is an enlargement of the church’s witness as a sign, agent, and foretaste of the kingdom of God. Here is a fresh and inspiring look at the mission of the church when it enfolds people with disabilities as full members.Conner, Benjamin T.

Discovering Trinity in Disability: A Theology for Embracing DifferenceAs parents of three daughters, two of whom are labeled disabled, the authors explore the Scriptures and writings of early Christian thinkers to challenge conventional attitudes – and fears – toward those who are different. Drawing on their respective doctorates in Theology and Literature and their family experience, the authors – husband and wife, father and mother – endeavor to respond to the question of suffering in a Church where we believe that God answers the prayers of his followers. “Disability is an enduring, fundaMental aspect of humanity that has been manipulated and wronged by society,” they tell us. Through their exploration of historic and contemporary disability issues, they draw on the theology of the Trinity to bring to light a new, theological perspective on inclusiveness in our communities.Tataryn, Myroslaw and Maria Truchan-Tataryn.

When his doctor asked him if he wanted to have the plug pulled, he thought about the life he had, and the life he could look forward to. And he decided to live; to learn to live a new life — a fulfilling life, full of love and growth, and a determination to improve Physically, Mentally and spiritually.Matola, Thomas, and Roberta Johnson.

Embodying Compassion: Disability Sport and the Mercy of GodThe author offers a robustly theological account of compassion, highlighting its bodily nature. Divine mercy is presented as being conveyed through human bodies to remake and enliven both the human agent and recipient. Culminating in a story of a physically and mentally impaired runner, this account of mercy and compassion fleshes out God’s mercy, which can be understood as flowing through human bodies in the context of sporting activities. A challenge is thus levied at modern secularized accounts of compassion and mercy, as well as many of the dominant values in contemporary sport—flawless athletic beauty, agonistic competition, and financial success—which have rendered simple acts of intercompetitive compassion and mercy nearly unintelligible.Brock, Brian.

Enabling Witness: Disability in Missiological PerspectiveAs the church acknowledges and seeks to integrate those members with disabilities and their concerns more fully into congregational life, Christians have been supported by many different conversation partners from across the theological disciplines. Notably absent in this discussion have been contributions from the field of missiology. Missiology is an integrative and multidisciplinary field of study that is particularly attentive to how interaction with cultures, social traditions, and religious convictions transform the church through boundary crossing. One of the major opportunities and challenges for missiology in the twenty-first century will be to support churches in recognizing and amplifying the contributions of persons with disabilities to the ministry and witness of the church. Missiology could provide a perspective and practices for ensuring that the fullness of the gifts and challenges of the world’s largest minority (15% world population or 1 billion people have disabilities) will be represented in and transformative of the church’s participation in God’s mission.Cooner, Benjamin T.

Encounter With Mystery: Reflections on L’Arche and Living With DisabilityL’Arche began when Jean Vanier took two people with Mental handicaps to live with him as friends, people who had spent their lives until then in an institution. From this small beginning l’Arche communities, dedicated to shared living with the poorest and most vulnerable people in society, have spread throughout the world. The story of this book began when Jean Vanier asked Frances Young to collaborate with him in gathering together a group of theologians to reflect on and think through the implications of the values and lifestyle pioneered by the l’Arche communities. This resulting collection of essays from a diverse selection of writers addresses the doctrines of Christian belief from the perspective of l’Arche, allowing it to open our eyes to the traditions of Christian worship and spirituality, and break Down Syndrome the barriers between us in an ever-widening ecumenical embrace. For some contributors the catalyst has been the life of the l’Arche communities itself; for others it has been living as carers, as parents or partners. But all are united by the common discovery that Physical or Mental impairment – indeed, fragility and dependence and daily dealings with the demands of bodiliness – may create a holy space where one meets God, and therefore reaches an understanding of the truth about the human condition. Encounter with Mystery reveals the human face of l’Arche while also exploring the wider theological implications of disability. It is a book to challenge and enlarge our understanding of the Kingdom of God.Young, Frances M. (Ed.) Encounter with Mystery: Reflections on L’Arche and Living with Disability.

Enforcing Normalcy: Disability, Deafness and the BodyEnforcing Normalcy surveys the emergence of a cluster of concepts around the term “normal” as these matured in western Europe and the United States over the past 250 years. Linking such notions to the concurrent emergence of discourses about the nation, Davis shows how the modern nation-state constructed its identity on the backs not only of colonized subjects, but of its physically disabled minority. In a fascinating chapter on contemporary cultural theory, Davis explores the pitfalls of privileging the figure of sight in conceptualizing the nature of textuality. And in a treatment of nudes and fragmented bodies in Western art, he shows how the ideal of physical wholeness is both demanded and denied in the classical aesthetics of representation.Davis, Lennard.

The most profound identifier of factor A, Hopeful Humanist, is the hopeful nature in which they perceive individuals with mental retardation. Members of factor B, Devout Followers, see themselves as directed by God and willing followers of God. As Special Caregivers the members of factor C make it clear there is a distinct difference between individuals with mental retardation and those who are without disabilities.

Through her incisive readings of such texts as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Rebecca Harding Davis’s Life in the Iron Mills, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson exposed the social forces driving representations of disability. She encouraged new ways of looking at texts and their depiction of the body and stretched the limits of what counted as a text, considering freak shows and other pop culture artifacts as reflections of community rites and fears. Garland-Thomson also elevated the status of African-American novels by Toni Morrison and Audre Lorde. Extraordinary Bodies laid the groundwork for an appreciation of disability culture and an inclusive new approach to the study of social marginalization.Thompson, Rosemarie Garland.

Factors Associated With Participation in Faith Communities for Individuals With Developmental Disabilities and Their FamiliesAlthough disability is an unreliable predictor of the importance that spirituality and religion hold in people’s lives, studies suggest faith community participation may be more limited for people with disabilities and their families. This study reports qualitative findings from a mixed-methods study exploring the perspectives of 416 parents on the welcome and support they have experienced within faith communities, both for themselves and for their sons or daughters with developmental disabilities. This study analyzed parents’ responses to open-ended survey questions, categorizing them into themes addressing factors associated with congregational participation. Key factors identified for this involvement included: (a) practices and supports provided by (or absent within) a faith community; (b) characteristics of individuals with disabilities, their parents, and faith communities; (c) attitudes and beliefs within faith communities; and (d) knowledge about persons with disabilities. Implications for supporting the full participation of people with disabilities in faith communities are discussed, as well as suggested future research directions.Ault, M. J., Collins, B.

Families We Need: Disability, Abandonment, and Fosterage’s Resistance in Contemporary ChinaSet in the remote, mountainous Guangxi Autonomous Region and based on ethnographic fieldwork, Families We Need traces the movement of three Chinese foster children, Dengrong, Pei Pei, and Meili, from the state orphanage into the humble, foster homes of Auntie Li, Auntie Ma, and Auntie Huang. Traversing the geography of Guangxi, from the modern capital Nanning where Pei Pei and Meili reside, to the small farming village several hours away where Dengrong is placed, this ethnography details the hardships of social abandonment for disabled children and disenfranchised, older women in China, while also analyzing the state’s efforts to cope with such marginal populations and incorporate them into China’s modern future. The book argues that Chinese foster families perform necessary, invisible service to the Chinese state and intercountry adoption, yet the bonds they form also resist such forces, exposing the inequalities, privilege, and ableism at the heart of global family making.Erin Rafferty.

Finding God in Autism: A 40-Day Devotional for Parents of Autistic Childreninding no books with Biblical references to help her face the challenges of raising a child with special needs, Kathy did intense research to bring back her hope. Listening to the many preachers on TBN and doing Bible studies, she studied Scriptures to help her understand God’s plan for her child’s life. Doctors and teachers offered no hope and told her to brace herself for the long, dark road she was now on. Raised in a Christian home and active in her local church, she knew in her heart that the God she serves is a God of mercy. Here are Scriptures to restore your hope, strengthen your faith and show you that God has a plan for your child’s life. Scriptures to promise that God is listening to your every prayer, that He is watching the work and efforts being done on behalf of your children. Scriptures that will empower you to be strong and steadfast, reminding you that with God, nothing is impossible.Medina, K. Finding God in Autism: A 40-day Devotional for Parents of Autistic Children.

Finding God in Our Bodies: Theology From the Perspective of People With DisabilitiesPlaces of worship and religious theologies do not always include and often misrepresent the experiences of persons with disabilities. The author explores the bias toward “ability” present in traditional Christian theology. Creamer suggests that experiences of disability need not be understood as either curse or blessing, but radier can become a source for theological reflection. Traditional theological categories such as die person of God, the ministry of Jesus, eschatology, sin, and healing are challenged and enriched by the perspectives of people with disabilities. This hermeneutical discussion between theology and disability calls the church to act justly and invites each of us to reflect on our own embodied experiences of God and the world.Creamer, Deborah. “Finding God in Our Bodies: Theology from the Perspective of People with Disabilities.” Journal of Religion in Disability & Rehabilitation 2, no. 1 (1995): 27-42 (Part 1); 2, no. 2 (1995): 67-87 (Part 2).OtherChristianityJournal Article

Flannery O’Connor: Writing a Theology of Disabled HumanityFlannery O’Connor is one of America’s most unique Southern authors. Shortly after she began her writing career she was diagnosed with lupus. Despite her illness, O’Connor authored more than two dozen short stories and two novels. Her highly regionalized Southern Gothic stories often involve grotesque characters. Literature critic and theologian Timothy J. Basselin consults O’Connor’s life and work to illustrate the profound connections existing between the theme of the grotesque and Christian theology. O’Connor’s own disability, Basselin argues, inspired a theology that leads readers toward greater recognition of God’s activity in a sinfully grotesque world. By combining disability studies, literary critique, and theological reflection, Basselin discovers a new vision for approaching the disabled, the grotesque, and the other in society. Flannery O’Connor reignites O’Connor’s own critiques of the modern affinity for perfection, self-sufficiency, and a clear separation between “good” and “bad.”Basselin, Tim.

Formed Together: Mystery, Narrative, and Virtue in Christian CaregivingJoy, pain, celebration, and grief are constant companions on the journey of caregiving. While remaining detached might seem the preferable option, it is not possible to disentangle the threads of our interwoven stories. Our lives are shaped by each other. We are transformed by our encounters. In Formed Together, Keith Dow explores the questions of why we should, and why we do, care for one another. He considers what it means for human beings to be interdependent, created in the image of a loving God. Dow recounts personal experiences of supporting people with Intellectual disabilities while drawing upon theological and philosophical sources to discover the ethical underpinnings of Christian care. Formed Together reveals that human beings care for one another not merely by choice, but because every person relies upon others. People are called together in mutually formative practices of care, and human flourishing means Learning to care well. Dow suggests five virtues that mark ethical caregiving, such as humble courage and quiet attentiveness. These practices can help guide caregivers in responding to the divine call to care. Dow demonstrates that ethical practices of care do not depend upon intelligence or rational ability. Many are called to the vocation of tending to and being present in the needs of others. To be formed together in the divine image means that caregivers never entirely comprehend themselves, others, or God. Rather, caring well means that humans are to accompany one another in and through experiences of profound mystery and revelation.Dow, Keith.

Forty Years, Fifty Years, and Moments in TimeI am on a 10-hour airplane ride, high above the Atlantic Ocean, returning home to Texas after leaving 5 days ago. This trip was a slightly crazy splurge the weekend before 2 weeks of conferences that start next Monday. It was partly a birthday present, since I am old enough not to really want or need a lot for a birthday. It was also gift because of an invitation to a party I had not expected to receive. Yet in these short 5 days, a lot of my history has been compressed with feelings of permanence, the flashing of years, and moments of meaning that turn into memory and back againGaventa, Bill.

From Charity to Classroom Co-Learning: Togetherness in the Spirit as a From Charity to Classroom Co-Learning: Togetherness in the Spirit as a Model for Experiential Education With People With DisabilitiesReflecting on our experience as educators in a semester long “Disability and Christian Ministry” mini-course with ministerial students from Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS) and Career and Community Studies (CCS) students with I/DD from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in Spring 2020, we illuminate the critical role the Spirit and togetherness play in confronting covert ableism in the classroom, disrupting conventional values and power dynamics, and cultivating a new ethos for mutual ministry and leadership. We argue that the dynamic, experiential, and collaborative learning process in the mini- course encouraged students to take greater shared responsibility for their learning in the classroom, equipping them for ministerial leadership by allowing them to experience mutual leadership with one another. The leadership of the Spirit, through the spontaneous distribution of gifts, reconstituted the body, helping PTS and CCS students see themselves as full partners in ministry. However, this article also puts our course in conversation with the broader literature on disability and theological education, emphasizing the need for theological educators to embrace inclusive, experiential theological education as a site for justice and transformation. We make the argument that theological educators, seminaries, and divinity schools must not be satisfied with social programming, community living, or fellowship opportunities with persons with disabilities, but must receive the ministry of people with disabilities in the classroom in order that theological education may be rid of its ableist biases and transformed from the inside out. By withholding classroom space from students with disabilities, theological institutions restrict the dynamic work of the Spirit from the practice of education, hampering the heart of theological education.Erin Rafferty and Stuart Carroll.

From Inclusion to Leadership: Disability, Ministry, and Congregational LeadershipAmerican Christianity tends to view disabled persons as problems to be solved rather than people with experiences and gifts that enrich the church. Churches have generated policies, programs, and curricula geared toward “including” disabled people while still maintaining “able-bodied” theologies, ministries, care, and leadership. Ableism—not lack of ramps, of finances, or of accessible worship—is the biggest obstacle for disabled ministry in America. In From Inclusion to Justice, Erin Raffety argues that what our churches need is not more programs for disabled people but rather the pastoral tools to repent of able-bodied theologies and practices, listen to people with disabilities, lament ableism and injustice, and be transformed by God’s ministry through disabled leadership. Without a paradigm shift from ministries of inclusion to ministries of justice, our practical theology falls short. Drawing on ethnographic research with congregations and families, pastoral experience with disabled people, teaching in theological education, and parenting a disabled child, Raffety, an able-bodied Christian writing to able-bodied churches, confesses her struggle to repent from ableism in hopes of convincing others to do the same. At the same time, Raffety draws on her interactions with disabled Christian leaders to testify to what God is still doing in the pews and the pulpit, uplifting and amplifying the ministry and leadership of people with disabilities as a vision toward justice in the kingdom of God.Erin Rafferty. 2022.

From Inclusion to Leadership: Disabled ‘Misfitting’ in Congregational MinistryDrawing on ethnographic research, Scripture, and theology, this article posits that Christian arguments for inclusion with people with disabilities often fail to undermine ideologies of normalcy lurking at the heart of redemption. By reading the healing of blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46–52) with the pitfalls of inclusion and current research in mind, I follow theologian Sharon V. Betcher in challenging readers to resist making disabled persons but “plot props” in able-bodied enlightenment, and let Jesus’ ministry direct us to Bartimaeus’ ministry in the text. I argue that in uplifting the faith and leadership of Bartimaeus, Jesus points to Bartimaeus as the protagonist, inviting us to perceive and receive the faithfulness and leadership of people with disabilities in their seeming disruptions and evident differences. In order to aid able-bodied people in apprehending the leadership of persons with disabilities, I draw on Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s concept of disabled “misfitting,” a feminist materialist notion of disability that emphasizes the importance of context and materiality in disablement. Using the concept of misfitting to analyze ethnographic examples calls attention to the opportunities and possibilities created in disabled people’s leadership and challenges congregations to consider where their paradigms of leadership may still be oriented around ideologies of normalcy and practices of able-bodied inclusion. Indeed, congregations are invited to receive the work of the Spirit in persons with disabilities by entering into dignifying dialogue with new forms of ministry and leadership.Erin Rafferty. “From Inclusion to Leadership: Disabled ‘Misfitting’ in Congregational Ministry.” Theology Today 77(2): 198-209.https://doi.org/10.1177/0040573620920698OtherChristianityJournal Article

From Team Hoyt to I’ll Push You: An Embodied Prophetic MessageThe authors explore stories of people with disabilities in sport settings that do more than inspire: they indicate how all people respond to the need and desire for both play and challenge. In 2014, Justin Skeesuck, with no use of his arms or legs, completed the 500-mile Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, pushed by his best friend Patrick Gray. This duo followed the 40-year-old legacy of Dick and Rick Hoyt, who have together completed over 1,000 endurance races, with Dick pushing and pulling his quadriplegic son Rick. Understanding play as fundamental to human life regardless of disability, these examples take the form of sport and extreme physical challenge. Through their fully embodied participation, Justin and Rick display fundamental anthropological and theological characteristics. Their disability sport stories illustrate not only their own personal determination to overcome obstacles, but also a prophetic witness to the true shape of human courage, self-sacrifice, and love, so easily missed due to the societal bias against those with disabilities.Watson, Nick J., and Brian R.

Gathering Online Representations of Practice About Assessment for Use as a Professional Development Tool: A Case in ProgressThe Assessment Snapshots digital resource at the University of Western Sydney is a current project to produce locally contextualised resources about effective assessment practice. Assessment case studies showcased through the project offer insights into how individual teachers in the disciplines design assessment strategies which respond to the challenges of teaching and learning in the tertiary sector in the 21(st) century. Resources produced are designed as online professional development tools for self-access by teachers and for use in assessment workshops and curriculum renewal projects. The paper explores the rationale for using case studies as a form of representation of practice, and describes the processes taken by a team of academic developers to gather cases from individual academics, provides initial reflections on those processes, and proposes plans for using the resource and evaluating its effectiveness as a trigger for improvement in assessment practice.Wilson, G., Thomson, R., and J.

Getting Organized29-minute video connects personal experience to collective action. In 1994 a group of activists with disabilities discovered an institution cemetery with numbered graves.

God Beyond Words: Christian Theology and the Spiritual Experiences of People With Profound Intellectual DisabilitiesIn this groundbreaking book, Jill Harshaw explores the spiritual experiences of people with profound Intellectual disabilities with regard to their capacity to enjoy life-giving spiritual experiences in their own right.The author expertly argues that our thinking of spiritual life needs to start not with our assumptions about people who are unable to speak for themselves, but with what we can know about God. Stimulating a much-needed discussion, this book explains why we need to respect individuals with profound Intellectual disabilities as spiritual persons, and stop seeing them simply as care-receivers or uncomfortable reminders of human vulnerability. Calling for a more critical approach in practical theology, this book invites a deeper, genuinely inter-disciplinary dialogue between new and traditional theological fields, and asks why, after more than 30 years of Intellectual disability theology, the impact on church life remains minimal so that debates around the right to basic inclusion continue to dominate. The questions raised in this book not only move the discussion forward, but will spark a change on how the Church approaches inclusiveness.Harshaw, Jill.

Healing in the New Testament: Insights From Mediterranean and Medical AnthropologyHow are we to read and understand stories of Jesus healing the lame, deaf, blind, and those with a variety of other maladies? Pilch takes us beyond the historical and literary questions to examine the social questions of how the earliest followers of Jesus and ancient Judeans understood healing, what roles healers played, and the different emphases on healing among the gospels. In his comparative analysis, the author draws on the anthropology of the Mediterranean as well as the models employed by medical anthropologists to understand peasant societies and their health-care systems.Pilch, John J.

Health Care and the Rise of ChristianThis short book about “the health-care system” of Early Christian continues Avalos’ interest in combining medical anthropology and biblical studies. Avalos’ main thesis is that “The ideas of health care reflected in early Christian constitute a system that was an important factor in attracting converts. As such, these ideas about health care constitute an important factor in the rise of Christian itself” (p. 3; similarly p. 15). His introduction also briefly reviews related scholarship, none of which is sufficiently systematic or comparative, in his opinion.Avalos, Hector. Health Care and the Rise of Christian.

How Then Should We Die: Two Opposing Responses to the Challenges of Suffering and DeathWe live at a time when more and more people face the challenges of chronic illness and aging, and when the notion of “dignity” is increasingly cited in the debate regarding how best to care for those who face these challenges. This book considers two radically different perspectives of dignity: the one grounded in the prevailing cultural view that emphasizes individual autonomy, a perspective that inevitably increases the sick person’s experience of loss of dignity and that is causing a fundamental shift in attitudes towards the care of the sick; the other, grounded in the values of authentic Christian community, a perspective that transforms the meaning of illness and affords dignity to all.S.

Hurting Yet Whole: Reconciling Body and Spirit in Chronic Pain and IllnessAs Liuan Huska went through years of Chronic pain, she wondered why God seemed absent and questioned some of the common assumptions about healing. What do we do when our bodies don’t work the way they should? What is healing, when one has a Chronic? Can we still be whole when our bodies suffer? The Christian story speaks to our experiences of pain and illness. In the embodiment of Jesus’ life, we see an embrace of the body and all of the discomfort and sufferings of being human. Countering a Gnosticism that pits body against spirit, Huska takes us on a journey of exploring how healing is not an escape from the limits of the body, but becoming whole as souls in bodies and bodies with souls. As Chronic pain forces us to pay attention to our bodies’ vulnerability, we come to embrace the fullness of our broken yet beautiful bodies. She helps us redefine what it means to find healing and wholeness even in the midst of ongoing pain.Huska, Liuan. Hurting Yet Whole: Reconciling Body and Spirit in Chronic Pain and Illness.

Each story is enhanced by quiet but powerful photographs by award-winning photographer Marc Hauser.Hauser, Marc, and Alisa Hauser. “Images From Within: Portraits of People Confronting Mental Illness.” Hightide Press.https://cherryhillhightide.com/product/images-from-withinIntellectualNone SpecifiedBookimages,portraits
Images of God Through the Lens of DisabilityThis paper promotes a “liberatory theology of disability” founded upon biblical images of God and upon the perspective and experiences of persons with disabilities. It calls for new images of wholeness and healing in order to comprehend a truer imaging of God. The author posits that we must view disability and disease through different conceptual lenses than we have used heretofore in order to behold the image of God in each child of God. She asserts that disability in no way detracts from our essential being; indeed, it may well enhance our image of God and of ourselves.“Images of God Through the Lens of Disability.” Journal of Religion, Disability and Health 3, no. 2 (1999): 47-79.OtherChristianityJournal Article

Imaging and Imagining Illness: Becoming Whole in a Broken BodyMedical imaging technologies can help diagnose and monitor patients’ diseases, but they do not capture the lived experience of illness. In this volume, Devan Stahl shares her story of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis with the aid of magnetic resonance images (MRIs). Although clinically useful, Stahl did not want these images to be the primary way she or anyone else understood her disease or what it is like to live with MS. With the help of her printmaker sister, Darian Goldin Stahl, they were able to reframe these images into works of art. The result is an altogether different image of the ill body. Now, the Stahls open up their project to four additional scholars to help shed light on the meaning of illness and the impact medical imaging can have on our cultural imagination. Using their insights from the medical humanities, literature, visual culture, philosophy, and theology, the scholars in this volume advance the discourse of the ill body, adding interpretations and insights from their disciplinary fields.Stahl, D.

In the Beginning There Was Darkness: A Blind Person’s Conversations With the BibleWhen John Hull went Blind he realised that the Bible was written by sighted people. Even Jesus shared in the attitudes of his day towards Blind. In writing this exceptional book, Hull ignored the printed text and listened to the Bible on tape. The result is an entirely novel interpretation, which challenges the sighted monopology yet brings fresh insights into the Bible for both sighted and Blind.Hull, John.

Including Individuals With Disabilities in a Faith Community: A Framework and ExampleFaith communities should be prepared to provide effective inclusive models that allow individuals with disabilities to be included in the ongoing activities of the community and that provide a welcoming support network for the family. This article describes a framework for building inclusive practices in faith communities and provides an example of an effective model used by a Jewish synagogue to include a child with autism spectrum disorder and his family. The multi-component model included assessing the needs, providing recommendations to religious leaders, implementing the program, and evaluating the effectiveness of the program and providing follow-up. The model is described and suggestions are made for other communities of faith that wish to implement similar programs.Goldstein, Penina, and Melinda Jones Ault.

Intersex and the Rhetorics of Disability and Disorder: Multiple and Provisional Significance in Sexed, Gender, and Disabled BodiesThe impulse to make accounts of human sex, gender, and embodiment “mean” monolithically is inadequate. Engaging with David Kelsey’s theological anthropology, I suggest that a more appropriate means of figuring “marginal” bodies theologically is as multiply and provisionally significant. Such bodies may include disabled, intersex, and otherwise variantly sexed and gendered bodies. Although Kelsey does not engage in depth with questions of sex and gender, his assertion that human identity is grounded eccentrically nonetheless yield fruitfully for developing accounts of intersex, gender, ableness, and personhood. Further, I build on John Zizioulas’ claim that humans’ relationships with the world need not be determined by the laws of biology, and Hans Reinders’ reminder that human being-in-relation is grounded in divine self-giving. Christian overinvestment in binary sex-gender norms occurs because the Church has forgotten that personhood-in-God is primary, and that the bodily forms in which humans live are secondary to primary identity in God.Cornwall, Susannah.

Is Depression a Sin or a Disease? A Critique of Moralizing and Medicalizing Models of MentalMoralizing accounts of depression include the idea that depression is a sin or the result of sin, and/or that depression is the result of demonic possession that has occurred because of moral or spiritual failure. Some Christian communities, understandably concerned about the debilitating effects these views have on people with depression, have increasingly adopted secular folk psychiatry’s “medicalizing” campaign, emphasizing that depression is an illness for which, like (so-called) physical illnesses, those experience the disease should not be held responsible. This article argues that both moralizing and medicalizing models of depression are intellectually and practically (pastorally and therapeutically) problematic, gesturing towards more promising emphases.Scrutton, Anastasia Philippa.

Islam and the Person With Intellectual DisabilityIslam, as a religion, makes a distinction between the person with intellectual disability and mental disorder, but both are found legally incompetent in the Koran and the Hadith. The society according to Islam is obliged to assess, assist and respect the person with intellectual disability and give the person an equal life chance. Mohammad, the Prophet, implied the importance of child welfare, education, well-being, and supporting children other than your own, all which can be seen as the expression of Islamic compassion. Islam recognizes the right of the needing person for help and assistance, as God tells us in the Qurvan (Koran): “And in their wealth there is acknowledged right for the needy and the destitute” (51:19). In Islamic tradition, it has been stated that the best therapy is the one directed to enhance the health of the person, his psyche and spirit, in order for him to fight illness. His environment should be beautiful, filled with music and people he likes. This presentation will describe the Islamic tradition and how it deals with and looks upon persons with intellectual disability.Morad, M., Nasri, Y., and J.

Traditionally referred to as “miracle stories,” they are more appropriately and accurately seen as stories of healing. The role of persons with disabilities in the kingdom is explored with a view toward the inclusion of all persons into the life and ministries of places of worship. The article proposes that people with disabilities hold a central position in the drama of the in-breaking of God’s presence in the life of Christ as his ministry unfolds.Schurter, Dennis. “‘Jesus’ Ministry with People with Disabilities: Scriptural Foundations for Churches’ Inclusive Ministry.” Journal of Religion Disability & Rehabilitation 1, no. 4 (1994): 33-47.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Jewish Law and the Definition of Mental RetardationThe main goal of the presentation is to explore the status of people with intellectual disability within Jewish Law (Halacha), to compare it with the traditional definition of mental retardation from 1983 and the latest American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) definition from 1992. Although, in its formative stages, Judaism did not have the diagnostic means or instruments useful for defining intellectual disability, its definitions are quite similar to the 1992 AAMR definition. This new definition eliminated the use of retardation levels and called on professionals to relate to people, who are intellectually disabled according to the abilities and limitations in the person’s diverse areas of functioning. The status of people with intellectual disability within Jewish Law was determined according to the degree to which the person can understand acts, which have halachic implications. The goal of the discussion of the halachic status of people with mental retardation is to facilitate their integration within the community and this perception is quite similar to the 1992 definition.Lifshitz, H., and J.

Judaism and Disability. Portrayals in Ancient Texts From the Tanach Through the BavliThe Jewish religion owns a virtually uninterrupted record of scripture and commentary dating back to 1,000 B.C.E. (B.C.), portions of which allow the new book Judaism and Disability: Portrayals in Ancient Texts from the Tanach through the Bavli to document attitudes toward disabled people in the earliest centuries of this ancient culture. Abrams examines the Tanach, the Hebrew acronym for the Jewish Bible, including passages from the Torah, Prophets, and Writings, and subsequent commentaries up to and through the Bavli, the Talmud of Babylonia written between the 5th and 7th centuries C.E. (A.D.). In Judaism and Disability, the archaic portrayals of Mentally ill, Mentally retarded, Physically affected, Deaf, Blind, and other disabled people reflect the sharp contrast they presented compared to the unchanging Judaic ideal of the “perfect priest.” All of these sources describe this perfection as embodied in a person who is male, free, unblemished, with da’at (cognition that can be communicated), preferably learned, and a priest. The failure to have da’at stigmatized disabled individuals, who were also compromised by the treatment they received from nondisabled people, who were directing and constraining. As the Judaic ideal transformed from the bodily perfection of the priest in the cult to Intellectual prowess in the Diaspora, a parallel change of attitudes toward disabled persons gradually occurred. The reduced emphasis upon Physical perfection as a prerequisite for a relationship with God eventually enabled the enfranchisement of some disabled people and other minorities. Scholars, students, and other readers will find the engrossing process disclosed in Judaism and Disability one that they can apply to a variety of other disciplines.J. Z. Abrams.

Knowing, Being Known, and the Mystery of God: Essays in Honor of Professor Hans Reinders: Teacher, Friend, and DiscipleHans Reinders has followed an untypical path of rethinking major questions in theology and ethics from the perspective of relationships with people with Intellectual and Developmental disabilities. Colleagues, collaborators, and friends from across the globe and a variety of professional disciplines address diverse themes related to his work and their own, including friendships as the foundation for knowing, and our own vulnerability, limitations, and dependence upon the grace of God, through and with others. The diversity of views and experiences deepens and broadens our understanding of the ways we know and are known. With a poetic letter by Jean Vanier, founder of L’Arche, and five comments on Hans Reinders by women and man with a disability.Gaventa, William C., and Erik De Jongh. (Eds.)

Living Gently in a Violent World: The Prophetic Witness of WeaknessHow are Christians to live in a violent and wounded world? Rather than contending for privilege by wielding power and authority, we can witness prophetically from a position of weakness. The church has much to learn from an often-overlooked community—those with disabilities. In this fascinating book, theologian Stanley Hauerwas collaborates with Jean Vanier, founder of the worldwide L’Arche communities. For many years, Hauerwas has reflected on the lives of people with disability, the political significance of community, and how the experience of disability addresses the weaknesses and failures of liberal society. And L’Arche provides a unique model of inclusive community that is underpinned by a deep spirituality and theology. Together, Vanier and Hauerwas carefully explore the contours of a countercultural community that embodies a different way of being and witnesses to a new order—one marked by radical forms of gentleness, peacemaking, and faithfulness. The authors’ explorations shed light on what it means to be human and how we are to live. The robust voice of Hauerwas and the gentle words of Vanier offer a synergy of ideas that, if listened to carefully, will lead the church to a fresh practicing of peace, love and friendship. This invigorating conversation is for everyday Christians who desire to live faithfully in a world that is violent and broken.Hauerwas, Stanley and Jean Vanier.

Lonely Joy: How Families With Nonverbal Children With Disabilities Communicate,Collaborate, and Resist in a World That Values WordsDrawing on ethnographic research with four families with children with profound cognitive disabilities who are nonverbal, this article argues that communication and joy among such families are undermined by common perceptions of disability as tragedy and lack of language as absence of communication. Because the Church often perpetuates understandings of disability as tragedy, joy in such families must stand in resistance to not just ableist society, but also to the Church. Therefore, we argue that both such families and the Church remain ‘lonely’ in their joy. Accordingly, we charge the Church to receive and accept a broad variety of communication in order to embrace, come alongside, and magnify the joy of families with persons with disabilities who are nonverbal, enlarging the context of joy in Christian community.Erin Rafferty, Kevin Vollrath, Emily Harris, and Laura Foot. “Lonely Joy: How Families with Nonverbal Children with Disabilities Communicate, Collaborate, and Resist in a World that Values Words.” (with Kevin Vollrath, Emily Harris, and Laura Foote) Journal of Pastoral Theology 29(2): 101-115.https://doi.org/10.1080/10649867.2019.1621024OtherChristianityJournal Article

Love’s Labor: Essays on Women, Equality, and Dependency (Thinking Gender)Where society is viewed as an association of equal and autonomous persons, the work of caring for dependents figures neither in political theory nor in social policy. While some women have made many gains, equality continues to elude many others, as in large measure, social institutions fail to take into account the dependency of childhood, illness, disability and frail old age and fail to adequately support those who care for dependents. Using a narrative of her experiences caring for her disabled daughter, Eva Feder Kittay discusses the relevance of her analysis of dependency to significant Cognitive. She explores the significance of dependency work by analyzing John Rawls’ influential liberal theory and two examples of public policy—welfare reform and family leave—to show how theory and policy fail women when they miss the centrality of dependency to issues of justice. This second edition has updated material on care workers, her adult disabled daughter and key changes in welfare reform.Kittay, Eva Feder. Love’s Labor: Essays on Women, Equality, and Dependency.

Madness: American Protestant Responses to Mental IllnessMadness is a sin. Those with emotional disabilities are shunned. Mental illness is not the church’s problem. All three claims are wrong. In Madness, Heather H. Vacek traces the history of Protestant reactions to mental illness in America. She reveals how two distinct forces combined to thwart Christian care for the whole person. The professionalization of medicine worked to restrict the sphere of Christian authority to the private and spiritual realms, consigning healing and care—both physical and mental—to secular, medical specialists. Equally influential, a theological legacy that linked illness with sin deepened the social stigma surrounding people with a mental illness. The Protestant church, reluctant to engage sufferers lest it, too, be tainted by association, willingly abdicated care for people with a mental illness to secular professionals. While inattention formed the general rule, five historical exceptions to the pattern of benign neglect exemplify Protestant efforts to claim a distinctly Christian response. A close examination of the lives and work of colonial clergyman Cotton Mather, Revolutionary era physician Benjamin Rush, nineteenth-century activist Dorothea Dix, pastor and patient Anton Boisen, and psychiatrist Karl Menninger maps both the range and the progression of attentive Protestant care. Vacek chronicles Protestant attempts to make theological sense of sickness (Mather), to craft care as Christian vocation (Rush), to advocate for the helpless (Dix), to reclaim religious authority (Boisen), and to plead for people with a mental illness (Menninger). Vacek’s historical narrative forms the basis for her theological reflection about contemporary Christian care of people with a mental illness and Christian understanding of mental illness. By demonstrating the gravity of what appeared—and failed to appear—on clerical and congregational agendas, Vacek explores how Christians should navigate the ever-shifting lines of cultural authority as they care for those who suffer.Vacek, Heather.

It argues that the task of prescribing and administering psychopharmaceutical drugs is a thoroughly theological enterprise and should be looked at and practiced accordingly. The paper presents a theological anthropology that opens up space for rethinking the role of medication not only in relation to therapeutic intervention, but in relation to the chief end of human beings: to glorify God and live with God forever Drawing on theology and the narratives of people living with mental health challenges, the paper seeks to facilitate a movement from neurons to souls: a movement that realigns the goals of prescribing and opens up space to rethink the nature of “symptoms” and the ultimate intentions of the psychopharmacological enterprise.Swinton, J. “Medicating the Soul: Why Medication Needs Stories.” Christian Bioethics 24, no. 3 (2018): 302-318.OtherChristianityJournal Article

Missing in Action: Theological Reflection on the Absence of the Aged, Poor, and Disenfranchised in Contemporary Church Planting MovementsContemporary church planting in the major cities of the West has been on the ascendancy over the last decade. Numerous homogenous-based expressions of Christian faith have appeared, with many having numeric success. This article seeks to address a blind spot in the world of church planting by providing theological reflection on the shortcomings of the homogenous-based approach to ministry, particularly as it relates to the isolation and oversight of the aged, the poor, and the disenfranchised in the body of Christ. The author seeks to overview the Biblical theology of caring for the marginalized, a critique of contemporary church planting movements’ neglect of these people, and some pastoral exhortations on the place of the aged, the poor, and the disenfranchised in contemporary church planting.Gill, Malcolm.

Moral Evaluations of Genetic Technologies: The Need for Catholic Social DoctrineThe author argues that genetic technologies can never be fully sepa­rated from their eugenic ends. Because of this, the Church’s sexual ethic must be integrated with its social teaching to respond faithfully to ethical issues that arise with the use of genetic technologies. The author discusses, first, the Catholic opposition to eugenics from the turn of the twentieth century to the official papal condemnation of eugenics in 1930; next, the Church’s reaction to advances in DNA research in the 1950s and 60s; and finally, the shift from optimism to caution from the 1970s on, as new genetic technologies emerged in embryonic stem cell research, genetic counseling, and gene therapy. The author explores both the sources on which the Church has drawn in responding to genetic advances and the social issues that should prove fruitful for con­templation in the future.Stahl, D. (2015). “Moral Evaluations of Genetic Technologies: The Need for Catholic Social Doctrine,” National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly 15(3): 477-489.https://pdcnet.org/ncbq/content/ncbq_2015_0015_0003_0477_0489OtherChristianityJournal Articleroman catholic,genetic technology,moral theology

Muslim and Disability: Perspectives in Theology and JurisprudenceComing in October, 2009 from the Routledge Muslimic Studies Series. This book explores the position of Muslimic theology and jurisprudence towards people with disabilities. It investigates how early and modern Muslim scholars tried to reconcile the existence of disabilities in life with the concept of a Merciful God. It examines also how these scholars envisage the possibilities of leading a dignified and productive life, for people with disabilities, within an Muslimic contextGhaly, Mohammed.

Naming the Silences: God, Medicine, and the Problem of SufferingWhy does a good and all-powerful God allow us to experience such pain and suffering? This question, so often asked, has been approached in a variety of ways. In this illuminating and powerful book, Hauerwas explores why we seek explanations for suffering and evil so desperately in today’s world. He draws on true cases of ill and dying children to illustrate and clarify his discussion of the theological issues. Modern medicine, he claims, has too often become a noisy way to hide the gaping silences created by the experiences of childhood illness and death. He discovers for us a God who “can give a voice to that pain in a manner that at least gives us a way to go on.” Offering no easy answers or false comforts, Naming the Silences is a provocative and sensitive exploration of pressing issues that concern us all.Hauerwas, Stanley.

New Voices: Self-Advocacy by People With DisabilitiesSelf-advocacy by persons with developmental disabilities was unthinkable three decades ago. Then, in western Canada and in the northwestern United States, people with disabilities began to speak out for themselves. Today, the movement keeps moving! Persons with developmental disabilities are speaking out and organizing themselves to seek better, non-institutional living situations, social and political equality, and decent jobs with reasonable pay.This collection of original papers, many by self-advocates themselves, provides historical background about the origins of the self-advocacy movement across the Western world — the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, and Australia. It examines the current status of self-advocacy activities by people with developmental disabilities in each of these countries. Finally, it projects the movement’s future as it continues to accelerate worldwide.Dybwad, Gunner, and Hank Bersani Jr. New Voices: Self-Advocacy by People with Disabilities.

No Easy Choices: A Story of Disability, Parenthood, and Faith in an Age of Advanced ReproductionIn No Easy Choice: A Story of Disability, Parenthood, and Faith in an Age of Advanced Reproduction, Ellen Painter Dollar tells her gut-wrenching story of living with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)-a disabling genetic bone disorder that was passed Down Syndrome to her first child-and deciding whether to conceive a second child who would not have OI using assisted reproduction. Her story brings to light the ethical dilemmas surrounding advanced reproductive technologies. What do procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) say about how we define human worth? If we avoid such procedures, are we permitting the suffering of our children? How do we identify a “good life” in a consumer society that values appearance, success, health, and perfection?Dollar, Ellen Painter.

Orthodox Union/Yachadoccurs every February focusing on the abilities and talents of individuals with disabilities. Sponsored by Yachad , communities and schools engage in concrete ways to include all members of their Jewish community. Resources are shared with synagogues and temples to make their environments and ideology inclusive. Examples are supplying members with Blind impairments magnifying strips to help them read their siddurim or clip bookmarks to hold the place in their prayer books so that they are able to follow services. Schools participate in workshops and book clubs to help students understand disabilities. Working hand in hand with JDAIM, Yachad believes that we help the entire Jewish community grow and strengthen by enabling all individuals to be equal partners in Klal Yisroel.http://https:/www.njcd.orgOtherJudaismOther

Outside Horses, Inside Men: Equestrian Sport, Disability, and TheologyEquestrian sport is unique in many ways among the sporting disciplines, but is rarely inspected by theologians. The author undertakes one of the first studies of Christian theology, disability, and equestrian sports. She considers four themes (interdependence, vulnerability, mutual enabling, and normalcy) through case study and theory and highlights central features of equestrian sport. The author starts by investigating disability and equestrian sport, before using results of this study to re-examine frequently discussed theological issues such as inclusion, vulnerability, faith, trust, and healing. Bringing theology, disability, and equestrian sport into dialogue amplifies voices that support, challenge, and provoke important topics in academic and practical theology.Jones, Kirsty L.

Pastoral Care and Intellectual Disability: A Person-Centered ApproachEvery Christian is called to and gifted for ministry. The church can—and must—engage all of its members if it is to flourish fully. Far too often, persons with Intellectual disabilities are excluded. While members with disability are often recipients of the church’s ministry, they are seldom given the opportunity to reciprocate: persons with disability are not always fully empowered to minister. In Pastoral Care and Intellectual Disability, Anna Katherine Shurley asserts the church’s need for mutuality in pastoral care. While the shape of each person’s vocation is unique, all members of the body of Christ are created for ministry with one another as partners in spiritual care. In a quest for pastoral care that is fundaMentally collaborative and fully inclusive, Shurley turns to the psychology of D. W. Winnicott and to Karl Barth’s theology of Christian vocation. From this combination, she crafts person-centered pastoral care for the body of Christ and all its members, with or without Intellectual disabilities. Person-centered pastoral care recognizes that people with Intellectual disabilities can and must participate as partners in the church. Faith communities, Shurley suggests, can foster collaborative ministry by nurturing pastoral friendships among its membership. These sacred friendships are spaces in which people share their lives with one another as a truly collaborative practice of care. Through these pastoral friendships mediated by the presence of the Holy Spirit, all of God’s children can live their particular vocations. By engaging person-centered practices of pastoral care, the church strengthens its witness and truly becomes a place of belonging for all people.Shurley, Anna Katherine.

Patient Reflections on the Disenchantment of Techno-MedicineOver one hundred years after Max Weber delivered his lecture “Science as a Vocation,” his description of the work of the physician in a disenchanted world still resonates. As a chronically ill patient who interacts with physicians frequently, I struggle with reconciling my understanding of my ill body with how my physician makes sense of my illness. My diagnosis created an existential crisis that caused me to search for meaning in my embodied experience, but I soon learned there is little room for such a search within modern biomedicine. Instead, I turned to fine art to help me make sense of my ill body and its purpose in my life. With the aid of my printmaker sister, Darian Goldin Stahl, I have transformed the magnetic resonance images of my body into works of art, which help to re-enchant my body and give purpose to my illness.Stahl, D.

Perception of Faith Leaders on the Inclusion and Participation of Individuals With Disabilities in Their CommunitiesSocial inclusion of individuals with disabilities across all areas of life has been a goal for decades. This includes the inclusion and participation in faith communities for those individuals who desire to do so. Previous research has shown that the involvement and support of the faith leader of a community of worship can positively impact the acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities. Researchers have called for more data to understand the roles and perspectives of faith leaders as they relate to including individuals with disabilities in their community of faith. This study used survey methodology to canvas faith leaders in two states in the United States. The findings showed a positive correlation between the availability of some supports provided by the faith community and the size of the congregation. Additionally there were statistically significant correlations between the disability training a faith leader had received and the presence of counseling services offered and the availability of accessible materials for individuals with disabilities. Although a large majority of the leaders reported that they had a welcoming attitude toward including individuals with disabilities, discrepancies in perceptions arose when compared to similar questions asked of parentsAult, Melinda Jones, et al. “Perception of Faith Leaders on the Inclusion and Participation of Individuals with Disabilities in Their Communities.” Journal of Disability & Religion 27, no. 1 (2023): 138-159.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2021.1932691OtherChristianityJournal Article
Perception, Discipleship, and Revelation in the Gospel of MatthewHealings of blindness carry deep symbolic meaning in the Gospel of Matthew, both in demonstrating Jesus’ messianic status and in providing models of discipleship. Such stories have negative connotations, however, for how the blind themselves are perceived. A comparison of Matt. 9:27-31 with similar stories shows the distinctiveness of this episode in terms of how the blind are depicted both following and disobeying Jesus. The implications of these differences for the representation of disability in the Gospel are explored, with particular attention to the role of sensory experiences in creating disciples.Wilson, Walter T. Perception, Discipleship, and Revelation in the Gospel of Matthew.

Perceptions of Serious Mental in the Local ChurchThe present study was undertaken to assess the perceptions encountered in the local church by individuals diagnosed with a mental disorder. Participants (n = 85) were self-identified, mentally ill Christians who responded to an anonymous online survey. Analysis of the data found that the church had dismissed the diagnoses of a significantly large number of the study participants (41.2%). Participants who were told that they did not have a mental illness were more likely to: 1) attend church more than once a week and to 2) describe their church as conservative, and/or 3) charismatic (“Spirit-filled”). Future efforts to bring the mental health and faith communities together must focus more on the specific conservative and charismatic doctrinal issues that presently limit such collaborations.Stanford, Matthew S., and Kandace R.

Persistent Pain and Promised Perfection: The Significance of an Embodied Eschatology of DisabilityPeople with disabilities experience different kinds of pain. That said, they are told in the Jewish and Christian scriptures that, in Heaven, their experiences of suffering will be relieved, and their disabilities normalized. Is that true, or will suffering (as distinct from pain) be allowed to persist in the afterlife? In order to explore this question, this paper will perform three tasks using biblical reflection, scholarly discourse, and autoethnographic narrative. First, it will define disability both as a physiological phenomenon and as a social construct, and similarly identify ableism, pain, and perfection; its definitions of pain will depend on Sarah Coakley’s polyvalent 2007 description. Second, having affirmed Jesus’ definition of perfection from Matthew 5:43–48, the essay will use scholarly reflections on pain and disability, Kathy Black’s explorations of a Gospel healing-narrative, and some of the author’s life-experiences, to demonstrate that kind of perfection. Third and finally, it will expand on that definition of perfection by drawing on both Amos Yong’s Christian meditations on resurrection, and Sharon Betcher’s postcolonial paradigm of illness as a creative matrix that promotes wholeness.Walker, Michael A. “Persistent Pain and Promised Perfection: The Significance of an Embodied Eschatology of Disability.” Journal of Disability & Health 27, no. 1 (2023): 108-123.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2021.1925199OtherChristianityJournal Article

Person-Centered Planning and Communication of End-of-Life Wishes With People Who Have Developmental DisabilitiesPerson-centered planning is a common practice in most developmental disability systems. As people with disabilities are living to old age and being supported in the community as they age and die, there is an ever increasing need for advance care planning for people who have developmental and intellectual disabilities; that is, the organizing of advance directives. Since many people already have a personcentered plan, the author suggests that use of a good planning process might be a logical next step for helping people communicate their end-of-life wishes. The author is clear that this is not about active or passive euthanasia, but is about helping people clearly communicate their wishes in the context of increasing age, significant infirmity or terminal illness.Kingsbury, Leigh Ann.

Picturing Disability: Beggar, Freak, Citizen, and Other Photographic RhetoricBogdan turns his gaze on the people behind the camera. He examines the historic and cultural environment of the photographs to decipher the relationship between the images and the perspectives of the picture makers. In analyzing the visual rhetoric of these photographs, Bogdan identifies the wide variety of genres, from sideshow souvenirs to clinical photographs. Ranging from the 1860s, when photographs first became readily available, to the 1970s, when the disability rights movement became a force for significant change, Bogdan chronicles the evolution of disability image creation.

Plurality in Medieval Concepts of DisabilityThis chapter examines two medieval understandings of “disability,” with an eye toward how they might be brought into contemporary discussions. A central concern is that medieval discussions of many issues, including disability, utilize different concepts than contemporary discussion, even though the same name is used for that concept. As a result, we can think we’re talking about the same thing as medieval authors when we’re not. The majority of the chapter seeks to show that some medieval figures don’t share a single unified concept of disability. I do this by first examining how Aquinas understood the nature of concepts and cognition. I then turn toward disability in the second section. While Aquinas’s corpus doesn’t offer an extended or systematic treatment of the nature of disability, his writings on philosophy of human nature do offer important insights regarding his understanding of disability. The third section of the chapter argues that Aquinas would reject that there is a single concept of “disability” that captures all and only disabilities. The fourth section looks at another medieval figure, Duns Scotus, who has an importantly different account of disability than Aquinas. Given the difference between figures such as Aquinas and Scotus, we can’t even assume that two medieval figures have the same concept when contemporary discussion seek to mine those historical texts for insight into contemporary debate. The fifth and final section of the chapter briefly considers how the multiplicity of concepts of disability gives figures like Aquinas a flexibility that isn’t always present in contemporary discussions. However, this same flexibility raises challenges for those that want medieval figures to speak directly into contemporary treatments of the same issues.Timpe, K. “Plurality in Medieval Concepts of Disability.” (2020): 25-48.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article
Plutarch’s ‘Philosophy’ of Disability: Human After AllAs the renowned American intellectual and essayist R. W. Emerson once wrote, ‘Plutarch will be perpetually rediscovered from time to time as long as books last’ (Emerson 1968: 322). The contribution at hand can only confirm this. Our aim is to document the multi-faceted notion of disability and its particular manifestations in the corpus Plutarcheum and to analyse its function and value in the various discourses of Plutarch’s Moralia and Vitae parallelae. To interpret the work of the famous historian and philosopher of Chaeronea (c.45-120) in light of the relatively young discipline of disability studies is not an easy undertaking, though, for at least two reasons.Meeusen, M. “Plutarch’s ‘Philosophy’ of Disability: Human after All.” Laes (2017): 197-209.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Politics of Physical DifferenceAlthough a “minority-group” model has emerged to challenge the traditional dominance of the “functional-limitations” paradigm for the study of disability, research on attitudes toward disabled people has not produced a theoretical orientation that reflects these developments. This paper proposes a new conceptual framework, based on the fundamental values of personal appearance and individual autonomy, for assessing the “aesthetic” and “existential” anxiety aroused by persons with disabilities. Investigations using this perspective might contribute to determining the attitudinal foundations of the competing models that are dividing research on disability.Hahn, H. “Politics of Physical Difference.” Journal of Social Issues 44 (1988): 39-47.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Pope John Paul II and the Apparently ‘Non-Acting’ PersonDrawing on Pope John Paul’s extensive theological and ethical writings this important book explores the status of people with profound Intellectual disabilities who some regard simply as ‘non-acting’. This book demonstrates that all human beings, whatever their situations or capacities, are acting persons made in the image of God and that all principles whether from Catholic Social Teaching or from Pope John Paul’s Theology of the Body apply to every human being as much as to any other. The book also considers liberation theologies of disability and the Pope’s reflections on suffering as well as the controversial area of the provision of hydration and nutrition for one most profoundly disabled person, the person in persistent vegetative state. In addition it reflects on spirituality in the life of the profoundly disabled based on Karol Wojty a’s thesis on St John of the Cross. As the title of the book explains, the profoundly disabled are only apparently non-acting: no one can discount the possibility of an inner spiritual life and alongside all human beings the profoundly disabled have spiritual needs, are called to a life of holiness and are asked to cooperate in that calling as far as they are able. Moreover, all have a part to play in God’s plan of salvation for all are ‘workers in God’s vineyard’.Iozzio, Mary Jo. Pope John Paul II and the Apparently Non-acting Person.

Praise and Thanks Be to God: Public and Religious Descriptions of Disability in Kuwait“Praise and thanks be to God” is a common phrase uttered when disabled people are seen in public places in the Arab and Islamic world. This phrase is ingrained in people’s minds as a result of the influence of cultural and religious discourses. This author explores the influence of such discourses on perceiving disability and disabled people in an Islamic country, Kuwait. The author initially explores the power of Islam through the past to the modern age. The author then discusses how disability is perceived through different cultures before focusing on an exploration of the nature of Kuwaiti culture and how the cultural and religious discourses around disability have been shaped. The author draws on poststructuralist and Foucauldian analyses to explore the views of six young disabled people in Kuwait on the cultural and religious discourses regarding disability. The author also explores the views of a Kuwaiti Salafi Imam on how the Islamic religion perceives disability and disabled people. The participants, in opposition to the Imam’s views, believe that people’s attitudes and some religious interpretations regarding disability provide a distorted picture of disabled people. The findings also reveal how the participants locate the “problem” of disability in their bodies by accepting words such as healthy or normal when referring to nondisabled people, thereby reinforcing the notion of “normality.”Alenaizi, Hussain Mohammed.

Prenatal Screening for Congenital Anomalies: Exploring Midwives’ Perceptions of Counseling Clients With Religious BackgroundsIn the Netherlands, prenatal screening follows an opting in system and comprises two non-invasive tests: the combined test to screen for trisomy 21 at 12 weeks of gestation and the fetal anomaly scan to detect structural anomalies at 20 weeks. Midwives counsel about prenatal screening tests for congenital anomalies and they are increasingly having to counsel women from religious backgrounds beyond their experience. This study assessed midwives’ perceptions and practices regarding taking client’s religious backgrounds into account during counseling. As Islam is the commonest non-western religion, we were particularly interested in midwives’ knowledge of whether pregnancy termination is allowed in Islam.Gitsels-van der Wal, JT., Mannien, J., Gitsels, LA., Reinders, HS., Verhoeven, PS., Ghaly, MM., Klomp, T., and EK Hutton. “Prenatal screening for congenital anomalies: exploring midwives’ perceptions of counseling clients with religious backgrounds.” BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth 14 (2014).OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Prescribing Experience: Discussion of Recreational Therapy as Health CareHealth care extends beyond pills and medical devices. Truncated conceptions of health care can be particularly challenging for disabled people and people with disabilities. This truth resonates even deeper given that the roles of spirituality, religion, and the wellbeing of the whole person occupy the central role of health care. Despite hard-won advances in parity of coverage and in health promotion, prescriptions and coverage of care beyond medication and devices still strike many as less within the role of medical providers. The authors explore public discourse as reflected in state agency websites and in blogs surrounding two forms of therapy during the time of the design and early implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.Baker, Dana Lee, and Cadie Dye.

Profound Cognitive Impairment, Moral Virtue, and Our Life in ChristIntegral to the Catholic account of our life in Christ is the commonsense recognition that some people have a profound, lifelong cognitive impairment. Correlative to that recognition is the Catholic presumption that severe intellectual disability cannot alienate a person from the grace of God. On the Catholic view, no disability and no measure of cognitive impairment can undermine the sanctifying gifts and perfecting work of the Holy Spirit. In other words, in and through the sacrament of Baptism, every Christian is called to the happiness of beatitude and every Christian is made capable of the holiness called virtue.Romero, M.

Profound Intellectual Disability and the Grammar of BaptismThe author argues that how the personhood of those with profound intellectual disabilities is imagined often becomes a determining factor in whether those with disability are included in communities or whether their lives are affirmed. The author suggests that the grammar of the Christian practice of baptism is beneficial in communicating the full personhood of those with disability as well as their full inclusion in and gifting for the church-community. This task is performed through a reading of Luther’s 1529 treatise “Concerning Rebaptism” with the author relating it directly to those with profound intellectual disabilities.O’Farrell, Kevin.

Promoting Inclusion of Adults With Disabilities Under Guardianship by Strengthening Solidarity on the Basis of Theology and Human RightsThe United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities calls for a shift from substituted decision-making to supported decision-making to address the right to legal capacity of persons with disabilities. This article briefly explores the current challenges that persons with disabilities placed under guardianship are facing; explains the role of human rights theory in the shift from substituted to supported decision-making; and analyzes how theology claims that people with disabilities are living images of God and are subjects with rights. By keeping in mind this aspiration of the Church and the UN Convention, this article suggests that Christian communities should promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities; should empower persons with disabilities so that they can express their will and preferences; and, more importantly, should build communities around persons with disabilities that are based on solidarity and friendship.Gurbai, Sandor.

Promoting Staff Learning About Assessment Through Digital Representations of Practice: Evaluating a Pilot ProjectThe Assessment Snapshots digital resource is a current project to support academic learning about assessment by diffusing knowledge and understanding of locally contextualised good practice in assessment at the University of Western Sydney. An initial collection of Snapshots was made available to academic staff on the university web site in early 2006. This paper describes how the resource has been utilised by teachers and explains the uses that academic developers have made of the resource in supporting teachers to extend their learning about assessment. The paper reflects on the extent to which the pilot project has been successful in disseminating effective assessment practice and promoting reflection and discussion about assessment issues. It proposes future directions for more effectively integrating and contextualising resources for professional learning with teachers’ everyday teaching practice.Thomson, R. “Promoting staff learning about assessment through digital representations of practice: Evaluating a pilot project.” Australasian Journal of Educational Technology 24, no. 2 (2008): 143-149.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Re-Imagining Personhood: Dementia, Culture and CitizenshipThe paper explores the issue of personhood and citizenship. It looks at some of the philosophical and cultural challenges that accompany the experience of dementia and offers a way of thinking that can hold together the vital relationality that comes with certain models of philosophical personhood with the more concrete and politically engaged understandings of dementia that come through a focus on citizenship in general and social citizenship in particular. It suggests that if we bring together relational models of personhood with citizenship approaches, we can end up with a politically informed spirituality that has much potential in terms of developing and protecting the well-being of people living with dementia and those who seek to offer care and support.Swinton, J. “Re-imagining Personhood: Dementia, Culture and Citizenship.” Journal of Religion SPirituality & Aging 33, no. 2 (2021): 172-181.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Reconsidering Intellectual Disability. L’Arche, Medical Ethics, and Christian FriendshipDrawing on the controversial case of “Ashley X,” a girl with severe Developmental disabilities who received interventionist medical treatment to limit her growth and keep her body forever small—a procedure now known as the “Ashley Treatment”—Reconsidering Intellectual Disability explores important questions at the intersection of disability theory, Christian moral theology, and bioethics. What are the biomedical boundaries of acceptable treatment for those not able to give informed consent? Who gets to decide when a patient cannot communicate their desires and needs? Should we accept the dominance of a form of medicine that identifies those with Intellectual impairments as pathological objects in need of the normalizing bodily manipulations of technological medicine? In a critical exploration of contemporary disability theory, Jason Reimer Greig contends that L’Arche, a federation of faith communities made up of people with and without Intellectual disabilities, provides an alternative response to the predominant bioethical worldview that sees disability as a problem to be solved. Reconsidering Intellectual Disability shows how a focus on Christian theological tradition’s moral thinking and practice of friendship with God offers a way to free not only people with Intellectual disabilities but all people from the objectifying gaze of modern medicine. L’Arche draws inspiration from Jesus’s solidarity with the “least of these” and a commitment to Christian friendship that sees people with profound Cognitive disabilities not as anomalous objects of pity but as fellow friends of God. This vital act of social recognition opens the way to understanding the disabled not as objects to be fixed but as teachers whose lives can transform others and open a new way of being human.Greig, Jason Reimer.

Redefining Perfect: The Interplay Between Theology and DisabilityTheology and disability have not always had an easy relationship. The interactions have ranged from Down Syndromeright hostile to indifferent or unintentionally excluding over the centuries. This theology book chooses instead to include those with disabilities after more than a decade of consideration and study. This results in a re-examination of major theological topics and the impact on the lives of those with disabilities, their family and friends, and the community at large. The focus of the book is to move the church beyond welcome to inclusion–where those with disabilities move from a guest of the community to equal and valued member of the community. While the book is about the theological inclusion of those with disabilities, its implications reach far beyond. It sets an approach for all people to find a place where they too may live in the fullness of Christian community. Stories of personal encounters are blended with explanations of doctrinal perspectives giving the reader a chance to connect knowledge with wisdom born from real life experience.Jacober, Amy.

Reframing Liturgical Theology Through the Lens of Autism: A Qualitative Study of Autistic Experiences of WorshipThe way autistic people experience worship services is typically different from the majority, non-autistic church population. These autistic ways of experiencing worship, however, are mostly disregarded in practical and in liturgical theology. This leads not only to exclusion of autistic people from the worshiping congregation, but both the church and liturgical scholarship miss out on the opportunity to enrich its worship practices and theology through the diversity offered by autistic participants. This article presents the results of a qualitative study involving thirteen in-depth interviews with autistic people, summed up in three main themes: the experience of worship, community, and encountering God. The ensuing theological reflection on these themes argues that the indispensability of autistic worshipers to the body of Christ, and the theological evaluation of the “normalcy,” are key principles for reframing liturgical theology through the lens of autism.van Ommen, L., and T.

Religion and Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities: An Exploratory Study of Self-Reported PerspectivesThis study examined the religious beliefs and practices of forty-one people with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities. The results indicated that the majority of participants attended worship services, prayed, and rated religion as an important part of their lives. Ratings of the importance of religion were positively correlated with participation in religious activities. Participants tended to score high on measures of intrinsic religiosity, and used positive religious coping strategies more frequently than negative religious coping strategies. Individuals with mild intellectual disabilities identified significantly more abstract representations of religion than individuals with moderate intellectual disabilities. The implications of these findings for the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in religious activities are discussed along with future research directions.Shogren, K. A., & Rye, M. S.

Representations of Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the North American Roman Catholic Print Media, 1990–2013This article is a qualitative content analysis of how autism and autism spectrum disorder are portrayed in the North American Roman Catholic print media. The findings suggest that there is an absence of medicalization and scientific explanations for the disorder in the magazines and newspaper analyzed. Instead, these publications stress the acceptance and inclusion of individuals with autism spectrum disorder and a celebration of their differences. The themes found in these Catholic publications differ dramatically from those found in mainstream secular magazines, which tend to approach children’s developmental issues from a biomedicalized and risk society perspective that emphasizes intensive mothering.Sawchuk, Dana, and Juanne Clarke.

Research on Disability and Congregational Inclusion: What We Know and Where We Might GoThe United States is home to more than 60 million Americans with disabilities and more than 300,000 churches. Yet the relationships among these individuals and congregations is alternately described as encouraging or concerning—sometimes stellar, other times deeply disappointing. Although anecdotes have characterized much of these depictions, a growing body of research also focuses on this area. This research review addresses the current landscape of congregational participation and practices related to individuals with disabilities and their families. What is known about the participation of individuals with disabilities in relation to faith community life? What is known about the practices of local congregations in relation to individuals with disabilities? This paper highlights key findings, identifies gaps in the current literature, and concludes with recommendations for future research.W. Carter, Erik.

Restoring the Image: Spirituality, Faith, and Cognitive DisabilityThere is a great deal of theological confusion within the church as to the level of participation people with profound cognitive disabilities should be allowed within the orders of the church. For some, sacramental participation without intellectual comprehension is dishonoring to God, while for others, lack of cognitive ability precludes any kind of meaningful spiritual life. This paper sets out some of the various positions and argues that faith and spirituality are not intellectual concepts, but relational realities. It is only in and through our relationships that any of us can learn anything about the divine. A relational understanding of faith and spirituality as outlined here offers the church the freedom to avoid evaluating a person’s spiritual life according to intellectual criteria and to begin to find new ways of preaching the Word to those who have no words.Swinton, J. “Restoring the Image: Spirituality, Faith, and Cognitive Disability.” Journal of Religion and Health 36, no. 1 (21997): 21-28.IntellectualChristianityJournal Article

Running for Jesus! The Virtues and the Vices of Disability and SportThe author explores some of the virtues and the vices of sport for Christians. Although sport is clearly a popular and potentially fruitful enterprise for human beings, it has its glories and its temptations. On the one hand, sport can be a magnificent exhibition of the beauty, diversity, power, and God-given potential of the human body. On the other hand, in drawing attention to the things that our bodies can do, we risk glorifying ourselves rather than bringing glory to God. The ways in which Christians negotiate this tension is crucial for faithful discipleship. The author uses the idea of running for Jesus to illustrate the goals of sport and the subtle tendency toward idolatry that accompanies the sporting enterprise. Central to the author’s intention is challenging us to think through precisely which Jesus we choose to worship. The Jesus of power, competition and win at all costs, or the Jesus who suffers, who is gentle, and who perceives winning in quite different ways from much of contemporary sport. Sport has to do with bearing witness, and bearing witness does not require winning; it requires faithfulness. The question is: to whom do we choose to bear witness should we engage in sport?Swinton, John. Running for Jesus! The Virtues and the Vices of Disability and Sport.

Sense and Stigma in the Gospels. Depictions of Sensory-Disabled CharactersThe senses are used within New Testament texts as instruments of knowledge and power and thus constitute important mediators of cultural knowledge and experience. Likewise, those instances where sensory faculty is perceived to be “disabled” in some way also become key sites for ideological commentary and critique. However, often biblical scholarship, itself “disabled” by eye-centric and textocentric “norms,” has read sensory-disabled characters as nothing more than inert sites of healing; their agency, including their alternative sensory modes of communication and resistance to oppression, remain largely unaddressed. In response, Louise J. Lawrence seeks to initiate a variety of interdisciplinary dialogues with disability studies and sensory anthropology in a quest to refigure characters with sensory disabilities featured in the gospels and provide alternative interpretations of their conditions and socialinteractions. In each instance the identity of those stigmatised as “other” (according to particular physiological, social and cultural “norms”) are recovered by exploring ethnographic accounts which document the stories of those experiencing similar rejection on account of perceived sensory “difference” in diverse cross-cultural settings. Through this process these “disabled” characters are recast as individuals capable of employing certain strategies which destabilize the stigma imposed upon them and tactical performers who can subversively achieve their social goals.Lawrence, Louise, Sense and Stigma in the Gospels.

Sight and Blindness in Luke-Acts: The Use of Physical Features in CharacterizationThe ancient world often thought in terms of physiognomics—the idea that character can be discerned by studying outward, Physical features. That Physical descriptions carry moral freight in characterization has been largely missed in modern biblical scholarship, and this study brings that to the forefront. Specifically, this is a study of one particular Physical marker—Blind. When we look at Greco-Roman literature, a kind of literary topos begins to emerge, a set of assumptions that ancient audiences would typically make when encountering Blind characters. Luke-Acts makes use of such a topos in a way that becomes programmatic, serving as a kind of interpretive key to Luke-Acts that is generally unnoticed in modern scholarship.Hartsock, Chad.

Spiritual Beliefs, Response to Disability, and the Church—Part 2The author interviewed 30 persons, including 13 parents of children with developmental disabilities and 9 adults with physical disabilities, about their spiritual experiences with disability. This article, Part 2 in a two part series, describes the participants’ perceptions of the evangelical Christian church’s influence on their responses to disability. While high religious support by the church promoted positive adaptation to disability, it was not as important as the participants’ personal relationship with God. The participants believe that inclusion of people with disabilities into the church begins with selfless service by disabled and non-disabled persons. Their recommendations for the church promote theological understanding of disability, and religious support that addresses continuing, long-term needs.Treloar, L. L. (2000). Spiritual beliefs, response to disability, and the church—Part 2.

Spiritual Experiences of Parents and Caregivers Who Have Children With Disabilities or Special NeedsDespite the fact that faith has been described as a universal concern, and despite the realization that the presence of social supports is an essential element in successful coping, there has been no systematic examination of the quality of spiritual networks important to families impacted by childhood disability. There is also little understanding of how spirituality in children influences the lived experience of faith in the adults who care for them. Findings reported here come out of a larger existential phenomenology study that examined the lived experience of parents or caregivers who sought to obtain formal religious education for their children with special needs. Participants included 26 parents/caregivers representing 44 children with special needs and 15 different faith traditions. Narratives indicated that many clergy and members of faith communities either devalue or fail to recognize the spiritual lives of disabled children. This lack of recognition was associated with participant disillusionment or crises of faith and a sense of alienation from potential sources of emotional support. In contrast, those participants whose children were welcomed reported feeling sustaining support and strengthened faith. No parent or caregiver perceived nurses as having an awareness of or interest in spirituality within families of children who have special needs.Speraw, S. (2006). Spiritual experiences of parents and caregivers who have children with disabilities or special needs.

Spiritual Experiences, Personal Commitment: Relationship With Work Stress Among Support Staff for Children With Disabilities in OmanThe development of a meaningful career for support staff working with children who have disabilities is part of a process of self-exploration and crystallization of identity. Such process is determined by several individual characteristics including spirituality and personal commitment. This study examined whether both constructs can predict levels of stress in disability support staff in Oman. Additionally this study examined how both constructs are perceived by support staff in relation to the stress related to serving and supporting children with disabilities in disability centers in OmanEmam, Mahmoud, and Suaad Al-Lawati.

Spiritual Expressions of Coping in Adults With HIV: Implications for Successful AgingWith the advent of effective medications prolonging life in adults with HIV, aging with this disease is now possible. Now facing the possibility of a longer life span than expected, a person with HIV may express differential growth in their spiritual development due to coping with such a stigmatizing disease. Using qualitative data from interviews and field notes, this study examined challenges and spiritual resources of 18 adults approaching middle- and older age with HIV. From this, a portrait of using spirituality to cope with HIV is presented. Several spiritual expressions of coping were observed and were classified under the following rubrics: streamlining life, belief in the here and now, right behavior, new path, new strength, fellowship, and closer to God. Examples for each of these expressions are provided as they emphasize how such spirituality facilitates coping with HIV, which may encourage successful aging.Vance, David E.

Spiritual Healers’ Explanatory Models of Intellectual Disability in Cape Town, South AfricaIntellectual disability is common in low- and middle-income countries, but there are few healthcare services available. As part of a larger study, we investigated spiritual healers’ beliefs about intellectual disability and family support in Cape Town, South Africa. All eight healers interviewed believed that the church has a role to play in assisting families of children with intellectual disability, but many held misconceptions about this condition. These findings show that there is an opportunity to engage with and further empower spiritual healers in this context, and probably in other, similar contexts, to do more to assist families with children with intellectual disability.Mkabile, Siyabulela, and Leslie Swartz. “Spiritual Healers’ Explanatory Models of Intellectual Disability in Cape Town, South Africa.” Journal of Disability & Religion 26, no. 1 (2022): 70-86.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2021.1973939IntellectualChristianityJournal Article
Spiritual Health and Persons With Intellectual DisabilityReligion and faith seems to play an important part in medicine and health in spite of the advances of modern medicine. This presentation reviews the present knowledge of the interaction between prayer, religious activity, distant healing and health in general and the few studies involving religion and persons with intellectal disability. Results from a recent study of spiritual health in residential centers for persons with intellectual disability are also reviewed. It is concluded that there indeed seems to be a connection between spiritual activities and physical health and well-being.Merrick, Joav, Morad, Mohammed, and Udi Levy. Spiritual Health and Persons with Intellectual Disability.

Spiritual Resilience in People Who Live Well With Lifelong DisabilityThe purpose of this study was to identify a profile of spiritual resilience in people who live well with lifelong physical disability. Thirty people, who met criteria for living satisfying, accomplished lives with a significant lifelong physical disability, participated in the study. Each was interviewed using a structured interview protocol, and data were analyzed using a modified form of grounded theory. It appears that the achievement of a sense of full humanity is foundational to the spirituality of persons who live well with lifelong disabilities. This sense of full humanity is either acquired in their original families or communities or accomplished by reversing any feelings of shame or stigmatization they experience from their families or communities. Believing and feeling themselves to be fully human is the backdrop for a spiritual pattern with three key elements: trust, agency, and purpose.Clarke, Katherine M., and Francine Cardman.

Spiritual Wellness as a Protective Factor in Predicting Depression Among Mothers of Children With Autism Spectrum DisordersThis study examined the predictive power of spiritual wellness on depression in 83 mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders. Spiritual wellness is a multidimensional construct that consists of four components: meaning and purpose in life, inner resources, transcendence, and positive interconnectedness. Each of the four spiritual components of spiritual wellness was investigated to determine their respective predictive power in predicting lower depression symptoms. Spiritual wellness components that were found to be significant predictors of lower depression symptoms in mothers were identified as protective factors. A hierarchical regression revealed that the spiritual wellness components of meaning and purpose in life and inner resources were significant predictors of lower depression symptoms and therefore served as protective factors in maternal depression. The findings of this study provide direction for future research to investigate how these spiritual wellness components can be incorporated into counseling and the design of interventions for mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders.Graybill, Arjan, and Giselle Esquivel.

Spirituality and Disability: An Analysis of Selected ThemesThis paper is a thematic analysis of the literature regarding spirituality, which is applied to the understanding of spirituality and disability. Implications for occupational therapy practice are suggested. The themes of “connectedness” and “expressiveness” as aspects of spirituality were generated from both the occupational therapy literature and literature from other health professions. A definition of spirituality is proposed by the author for use by the profession of occupational therapy, as follows: experiencing a meaningful connection to our core selves, other humans, the world, and/or a greater power as expressed through our reflections, narratives, and actions. Persons with disabilities described a sense of disconnectedness to others, to the world, and to a greater power. They expressed their spirituality through actions to rectify that sense of disconnection. This study suggests that further research is warranted that explores the scope of spirituality in the lives of individuals with disabilities and how spirituality relates to the theoretical and philosophical realm of occupational therapy.Schultz, E.

Spirituality and Learning Disabilities: A Qualitative StudyThis article describes a unique empirical study where critical incidents were obtained from learning disability nurses to understand how they attempt to meet the spiritual needs of the people for whom they care. Following analysis, the nurses’ approaches to meeting spiritual needs were categorized as ‘personal’ and ‘procedural’, and each of these is described in turn. There then follows a discussion on the effects of these nurses’ interventions on both clients and their families, and nurses themselves. The findings of the study illuminate how these learning disability nurses attempted to meet the spiritual needs of people with learning disabilities in their care. The findings may help nurses ensure that spiritual needs are identified in the construction of the personal care plans of people with learning disabilities.Narayanasamy, A., Gates, R., and J.

Spirituality and Parents of Children With Disability: Views of PractitionersBased on a study of 1,138 practitioners in the field of disability across 12 countries, the author examines the practitioners’ views on spirituality for parents of disabled children. Results of the logistic regression analysis showed that the following practitioners were more likely to see spirituality as an instrument to help parents to cope and build resilience against disability: those from European countries, the United States, Australia, and Canada; those associated with organizations working with issues of physically disabled children and children with sensory disabilities; and Christians and those having higher self-reported spiritual experiences scale scores. For them, prerequisites for spiritual parenting entailed parents’ innate spiritual sensibilities and potential. The goals of spiritual interventions for parents are understood as: deconstructing normative notions of ability or disability, acceptance, building resilience, and coping. For practitioners in the field of disability social work, the results support spirituality as a protector variable for parents with disabled children, tapping on their innate spiritual potential and sensibilities, and keeping relational consciousness and deconstruction of the normative as goals of intervention.Pandya, Samta P.

Spirituality and the Lives of People With Learning DisabilitiesThere is a growing body of literature emerging from the health and social care professions, which suggests that spirituality is a basic human need and indeed a human right which is a necessary component of both mental and physical health. Up to now, this dimension of the experience of people with learning disabilities has not been explored in any detail.Therefore, in 1999, Dr John Swinton of the University of Aberdeen was commissioned by the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities to carry out a feasibility study looking at the role of spirituality in the lives of people with learning disabilitiesSwinton, J. “Spirituality and the Lives of People with Learning Disabilities.” The Tizard Learning Disabity Review 7, no. 4 (2002): 29-35.LearningChristianityJournal Article
Spirituality in Disability and IllnessSpirituality appears with increasing frequency in the research literature, and a paradigm involving mind-body-spirit interaction is emerging. The relationship of spirituality to disability and illness is at the center of a growing body of knowledge. A comprehensive literature review supported spirituality as coping method among individuals experiencing a variety of illnesses including hypertension, pulmonary disease, diabetes, chronic renal failure, surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, polio and addictive illnesses. Additionally, spirituality is a resource when dealing with critical illness as well as terminal illness and end of life issues, and it is utilized by both patients, and family members. Discussion of research findings, implications for health care practice and future research is also presented.Kaye, J., and S. K.

Spirituality, Psychological Coping, and Community Integration for Persons With Traumatic Brain InjuryPrimary Objective: to determine the relationships that exist among level of spirituality, psychological coping strategies, and community integration for persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Research Design: non-experimental, prospective study. Methods and Procedures: Participants were 26 individuals with non-acute TBI (18 males, 8 females; 25 Caucasian, 1 Hispanic; average time since injury = 41 months). Participants completed a measure of spirituality (i.e., INSPIRIT; Kass et al., 1991); a measure of psychological coping (i.e., a revised Ways of Coping Scale (WAYSS); Felton, Revenson, & Hinrichson, 1984); and a measure of community integration (i.e., Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ); Corrigan & Deming, 1995). Main Outcomes and Results: Spearman correlational analyses indicated statistically significant positive relationships between spirituality and “positive” psychological coping strategies (i.e., WAYSS Cognitive Restructuring, Information Seeking, and Emotional Expression scales), but not with “negative” psychological coping strategies (i.e., WAYSS Wish Fulfilling Fantasy, Self Blame, or Threat Minimization scales) or with the CIQ. Conclusion: Increased spirituality is associated with positive (but not negative) psychological coping strategies, but spirituality is not necessarily related to improved functional capabilities. These results underscore the need for rehabilitation professionals to consider spiritual coping as a component of recovery for TBI survivors.Mahalik, John L., Johnstone, Brick, Glass, Bret, and Dong Pil Yoon.

Spirituality: A Review of How Occupational Therapists Acknowledge, Assess, and Meet Spiritual NeedsThe importance of considering an individual’s spirituality and the confusion over definition have been emphasised by the interest shown in this subject over the past decade. A working definition to help to reduce confusion was presented at the College of Occupational Therapists’ annual conference in 2004 and it was felt that it would be useful both to review the attitudes and practices of occupational therapists in this area and to evaluate how they assess and meet spiritual needs. It appeared that practical spiritual needs were often thought of only in terms of religious and cultural traditions or rituals and, as a result, the potential of everyday meaningful occupations was not considered fully. Therefore, the use of occupation was reviewed in relation to meeting spiritual needs.Johnson, C., and C.

Sport, Theology, and the Special Olympics: A Christian Theological ReflectionThe authors explore the potential of the Special Olympic movement to act as a counternarrative and prophetic message to the big-business world of professional sports. Drawing on the work of pioneers in the field of theology of disability, such as Jean Vanier, John Swinton, Brian Brock, Amos Yong, and Stanley Hauerwas, the authors provide a brief overview of the key themes within the theology of disability, which are then deployed to analyze the Special Olympics. This section is prefaced with a succinct account of the modern sporting institution and its key characteristics from a theological standpoint. We conclude that “those that are excluded … those at the edge of the system” (Rohr, 1995 Rohr, R. (1995). Those at the edge hold the secret. In Radical grace: daily meditations (p. 28).

Stomachikon, Hydrophobia and Other Eating Disturbances: Volition and Taste in Late-Antique Medical DiscussionsIn this chapter I propose to explore one particular realm of pathology that has relevance to the sphere of mental health and the formation of mental disease concepts in ancient medicine: nutrition and eating/drinking behaviours, and their alteration as forms of mental disorder.1 These include appetite and lack thereof, pathological drives (or absence of drives) towards food, food restriction and pathological voracity, and a general distortion in one’s attitudes towards food. I suggest that this area of experience received increased attention in late-antique medical writings as part of a wider phenomenon, the inclusion of the themes of voluntariness, self-control and the management of needs and desires, so much so that specific diseases thus emerged in association with these areas of human subjectivity—a topic which has still not received the attention it deserves, unlike other aspects of subjective bodily needs and desires, notably sexThuminger, C. “Stomachikon, Hydrophobia and Other Eating Disturbances: Volition and Taste in Late-Antique Medical Discussions.” (2018): 245-268.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Story, Agency, and Meaning Making: Narrative Models and the Social Inclusion of People With Severe and Profound Intellectual DisabilitiesThis article explores models of narrative and story, as practices that can be used to support and develop identity and relationships. Anglo-Western narratives, linked to certain aspects of the Judeo-Christian tradition, tend to be goal directed and to privilege agency and action, which can exclude people whose capacities for self-determination are difficult to ascertain. It is argued that social constructionist models of narrative that emphasize the collaborative and scaffolded nature of the developmental process have more to offer when considering how to tell stories with people whose communication is non-symbolic. Moreover, one can learn from the non-Westernized story practices of indigenous people, which are structured more cyclically and focus as much on the how as the what of storytelling. Such frameworks allow us to explore together how meaning is constructed through story as a dynamic and emergent property. They are congruent with an ethic of social inclusion that focuses on community and interdependency rather than on autonomy.Grove, Nicola.

Strange’ but Not Queer: Intellectual Disability and Participation in the Body of ChristThis essay examines Brian Brock’s use of imagery and symbols in Wondrously Wounded to explain reception of the Spirit’s gifts. By recovering the symbol of wonder, Brock intervenes in discussions among disability theologians about participation in Christ’s body. Above all, he avoids normative discursive forms that work to subordinate those marked disabled. Recent directions in queer theology, however, show that images of wounding and assault reinstate logics of opposition, subordination, and subjection. Drawing from Linn Tonstad and Ashon Crawley, this essay modifies Brock’s proposal by suggesting that images of abundance and excess better illuminate the reconfiguration of community in Christ.Micale, Calli. “‘Strange’ But Not Queer: Intellectual Disability and Participation in the Body of Christ.” Journal of Disability & Religion 26, no. 2 (2022): 117-129.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2021.1981794IntellectualChristianityJournal Article

Supporting Inclusion and Flourishing in the Religious and Spiritual Lives of People With Intellectual and Developmental DisabilitiesAn important aspect of supporting many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to flourish involves providing meaningful opportunities to participate in the spiritual and religious life of their community. Yet, a review of prevailing practices suggests the spirituality and faith community connections of individuals with intellectual disability, autism, and other developmental disabilities may be inconsistently supported or entirely overlooked. This article suggests an initial framework for research, policy, and practice aimed at fostering inclusion at the intersection of disability, religion, and spirituality. Recommendations are offered for designing services and supports that ensure that (a) people with disabilities can participate fully in inclusive spiritual and religious activities, (b) congregations develop the commitment and capacity to welcome people with disabilities and their families, (c) families receive support in ways that honor their faith commitments and connections, and (d) service systems support people with disabilities and their families in comprehensive and culturally competent ways.Carter, E.

Surviving Sexual Violence: A Philosophical PerspectiveThis chapter examines sexual assault from the point of view of a survivor, indicating that its consequences extend beyond the emotional or physical. Philosophical issues are raised by this experience, such as its effects on personal identity, notions of “harm“Notions of “harm”, the role of denial, victim blaming, as well as its political implications for gender equality. Given the significance of these concerns and the extent of sexual assaults, it is imperative the harms of violence against women be taken more seriously by philosophers.Brison, Susan J. 1993. “Surviving Sexual Violence: A Philosophical Perspective.” Journal of Social Philosophy 24 (1): 5-22.OtherNone SpecifiedBook

Tacit and Tactile Knowledge of GodKnowledge of God for persons with intellectual disabilities: an impossible oxymoron? This paper proposes to further the work of disability theology by engaging with the doctrine of revelation-the Christian doctrine that describes matters regarding knowledge of God. Karl Barth’s concept of co-humanity is considered alongside Michael Polanyi’s understanding of tacit knowledge so as to begin to conceive of ways forward for persons with intellectual disabilities, away from Enlightenment-informed theories of knowledge, towards a theologically informed conception of knowledge of God. Further, this paper suggests that the use of the imagination and the arts may act as a hermeneutic of sorts for communication with persons with intellectual disabilities. The theology and epistemology of Barth and Polanyi, combined with more creative forms of communication, result in a theory of knowledge of God that is truly inclusive for the whole Church.Demmons, Tracy A.

Teaching “Disease and Disability in the Bible”: A Pedagogical Retrospect and ResourceDesigning and teaching courses on disability, disease, and the Bible present special problems and opportunities. In this article, the author offers pedagogical advice for instructors of such courses. In the first section, he addresses several aspects of syllabus construction, including course goals, arrangement of material, bibliographic resources, accessibility statements, accessibility of materials, and learning assessment. In the second section, he offers insights on the practice of pedagogy, including self-disclosure, classroom dynamics, institutional context, navigating specialized language, and the value of team teaching. Though a graduate-level course provided the impetus for this article, the author discusses matters also pertinent for undergraduate instruction.Langford, Andrew M.

Teaching Seminary Students About Faith Inclusion for Individuals With Developmental Disabilities: The Role of Family MentorshipsWe present a rationale for the inclusion of a Family Mentorship experience as a vehicle for enabling seminary students to appreciate the challenges to faith inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

We present effectiveness data for the Mentorship experience, and provide recommendations for other seminaries and university centers on disability that would seek to establish similar family mentorship programs.Kleinert, H.

The ‘Reopen Churches’ Conversation: Disabilities and the MarginsThe continued presence of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted most church practices, including the ability to gather in person for worship. This has greatly altered church life, and with no clear timeline established yet on if-and-when churches will be able to operate in ways similar to before, the calls for reopening churches began well in advance of any evidence of decreasing infection rates. While within this conversation are discussions to be had concerning the relationship between Church and State, as well as an acknowledgement of the privileging of economic systems over relational systems, this article responds to the lack of disability awareness within the mainstream conversation as an act of pastoral justice. A history of how the church has engaged with disability is used to provide context otherwise missing from these accounts, and a critique of their argumentation is offered.Topher Endress, “The ‘Reopen Churches’ Conversation: Disabilities and the Margins,” Journal of Pastoral Theology, 31:2-3, 193-206, 2021https://doi.org/10.1080/10649867.2021.1922825OtherChristianityJournal Articlecovid-19,ethics,ecclesiology,christianity,protestant

Palmer’s deep and graceful exploration of a spirituality for the busy, sometimes frenetic lives many of us lead. Telling evocative stories from a variety of religious traditions, including Taoist, Jewish, and Christian, Palmer shows that the spiritual life does not mean abandoning the world but engaging it more deeply through life-giving action. He celebrates both the problems and potentials of the active life, revealing how much they have to teach us about ourselves, the world, and God.Palmer, Parker.

The Bible and Disability: A CommentaryThe Bible and Disability: A Commentary (BDC) is the first comprehensive commentary on the Bible from the perspective of disability. The BDC examines how the Bible constructs or reflects human wholeness, impairment, and disability in all their expressions. Biblical texts do envision the ideal body, but they also present visions of the body that deviate from this ideal, whether Physically or through Cognitive impairments or Mental. The BDC engages the full range of these depictions of body and mind, exploring their meaning through close readings and comparative analysis. The BDC enshrines the distinctive interpretive imagination required to span the worlds of biblical studies and disability studies. Each of the fourteen contributors has worked at this intersection; and through their combined expertise, the very best of both biblical studies and disability studies culminates in detailed textual work of description, interpretation, and application to provide a synthetic and synoptic whole. The result is a close reading of the Bible that gives long-overdue attention to the fullness of human identity narrated in the Scriptures.Melcher, Sarah J., Mikeal C. Parsons, and Amos Yong.

The Bible and Down Syndrome: Reimagining Disability in Late ModernityWhile the struggle for disability rights has transformed secular ethics and public policy, traditional Christian teaching has been slow to account for disability in its theological imagination. Amos Yong crafts both a theology of disability and a theology informed by disability. The result is a Christian theology that not only connects with our present social, medical, and scientific understanding of disability but also one that empowers a set of best practices appropriate to our late modern context.The Bible and Down Syndrome: Reimagining Disability in Late Modernity.

The Bible, Disability, and the ChurchAmos Yong, a theologian from the Pentecostal tradition and with a brother with Down Syndrome, argues for new ways to read biblical texts, saying the way that we read the Bible, not the texts themselves, has too often contributed to marginalization of people with disabilities.

The Bible, Disability, and the Church: A New Vision of the People of GodThe Bible has plenty to say about human disability; most of it is negative. Yet Amos Yong — a theologian whose life experience includes growing up alongside a brother with Down Syndrome — argues that it is the way we read biblical texts, not the Bible itself, that causes us unthinkingly to marginalize those with disabilities. Applying a “hermeneutics of suspicion” to traditional methods of interpreting the Bible, Yong rereads and reinterprets texts from the Old Testament, John, Luke-Acts, and Paul from the perspective of people with disabilities. Revealing and dismantling the underlying stigma of disability that exists even in the church, he shows how the Bible offers good news to people of all abilities — and he challenges churches to reorganize their practices as they strive to become more inviting, healing, and reconciling communities of faith.Yong, Amos.

The Blemished Body: Deformity and Disability in the Qumran ScrollsThe dissertation describes where and how the Dead Sea Scrolls talk about Physical imperfection. In addition, the consequences of Physical imperfection for social and religious participation are investigated. The dissertation shows that all documents examined are united in excluding Physically handicapped people. Interestingly, however, the situations from which these people are excluded are different and the exclusion rules apply to different groups. For example, there are rules that only apply to disabled priests and not to laymen, and vice versa. One important reason for exclusion is of a practical nature: a Blind priest should not sacrifice to avoid doing something wrong. Another important reason has to do with hierarchy. Disabled members in the community had a lower status than people without disabilities. While one might think that this lower status has to do with a state of ritual impurity, the thesis shows that this is not the case. A person’s Physical imperfection leads to a lesser state of holiness and therefore makes him less suitable for certain activities than a person without a disability. Despite the fact that in some situations the Dead Sea Scrolls take a negative attitude towards people with Physical imperfection, they also show a positive aspect. The dissertation has shown that texts that exclude disabled people from certain situations take special social or financial measures to help them in other situations.Dorman, Johanna. “The Blemished Body: Deformity and Disability in the Qumran Scrolls.” PhD diss.

The Blind, the Lame, and the Poor. Character Types in Luke-ActsThe virtual disappearance of the captive, the shattered, the Blind, the Deaf mute, the lame, lepers, the maimed, the dead and the poor from Acts poses a problem for Lukan studies. It creates a tension between two firmly held convictions about Luke’s writing: that the Gospel and Acts are a unified work; and that Luke has a special concern for the poor. A fresh solution lies in tracing the intertextual links between Luke and the Septuagint. In the Septuagint, these character types are standard, conventional recipients of God’s favour. In Luke’s gospel, the primary function of these types is christological, in that Jesus’ actions toward them reveal him to be God’s unique eschatological agent of salvation. In Acts, however, there is a different Christological situation: Jesus is now the risen and ascended Lord, and so Luke has no need to foreground those, such as the poor, who in the Septuagint are especially destined for salvation.Roth, S. John, The Blind, the Lame, and the Poor. Character Types in Luke-Acts (JSNTS 144), Sheffield 1997.http://bloomsbury.com/blind-the-lame-and-the-poor-9780567577092OtherChristianityBookvisual

The Body Silent: An Anthropologist Embarks on the Most Challenging Journey of His Life: Into the World of the DisabledRobert Murphy, an anthropologist by trade, eloquently and honestly describes how paralysis–and all disability–affects identity and interaction with others based on their reactions to disability. This book is his anthropological field trip to the world of disability, detailing his experiences and thoughts before, during, and after he becomes paralyzed during his 40s. This is a powerful book in which Murphy not only shares his personal story but deals with and challenges the ableism and medical model of disability he endures once he becomes disabled himselfMurphy, R.F.

The Cerulean Soul: A Relational Theology of DepressionDepression is difficult to define. It is commonly described as a chemical imbalance, a subjective experience of despondency, or even a semiotic construct. The various theories of depression—biochemical, psychological, cultural—often reflect one’s philosophical anthropology. How one defines the human person is telling in how one defines mental disorder. Philosophy and the sciences tend to offer reductive explanations of what it means to be human, and such approaches rarely consider that we may be spiritual beings and so fail to entertain a theological approach. Peter J. Bellini invites us to reimagine the person in light of the image of God in Christ, the divine enfleshed in human weakness. The Cerulean Soul responds to real challenges in the sciences and philosophy and offers a relational theological anthropology shaped by a cruciform framework that assumes and affirms human contingency, limitation, and fallenness. With reference to Christ’s incarnation, Bellini reveals how depression is inexorably tied to our relationship with God as his created beings: original, fallen, and renewed. Despondency serves as a biosocial and spiritual marker for our human weakness, brokenness, and spiritual struggle for meaning and wholeness. Further, it is a call to grow, to be restored, and to be made holy in the image of God in Christ. What emerges is a therapeia of the imago for depression that fills the gaps in our present attempts to determine the malady’s etiology and treatment. Taking the missio Dei of union with the risen Christ as its goal, The Cerulean Soul opens up the perennial problem of human despondency to an eschatological trajectory of hope and peace, redemption and transformation, given freely in Christ through the healing and sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Christoformity, informed by the subversive kingdom of God, gives new form to all persons, “abled” and “disabled.”Bellini, Peter. The Cerulean Soul: A Relational Theology of Depression.

The Challenge and Power of Location and Role. Pastoral Counseling in the Lives of Children With Disabilities and Their FamiliesChildren with disabilities and their families can benefit from effective pastoral counseling by clergy and professional counselors. However, these families may not approach pastoral counselors in traditional ways. Effective pastoral counseling calls for an awareness of the “worlds” of disability and service systems. The field of theology and disability studies is rapidly expanding, alongside inclusive congregational ministries. Pastoral counselors have gifts to offer families and there are a multitude of resources from disability services and supports that can be a resource to clergy.Gaventa, William. “The Challenge and Power of Location and Role.

The Culture of Sport, Bodies of Desire, and the Body of ChristThe culture of sport plays a persuasive role in the shaping of cultural conceptions of identity, the body, and what constitutes being human. The author gives a cultural exegesis of sport to highlight its authoritative influence on societal ideation about the body, and how society views, values, and valorizes ability as a dominant attribute of what constitutes being human in particular. Running in the foreground of this article is a theological critique of the ways in which the dominant portrayal of the body within sport is marked with homogeneous proportions of ableist expression, representing the able body as ideal and normal; a representation that is at odds with the place of other bodies that constitute the body of Christ, the church. Central to these aims is the hope that bringing to light ableist visions of human flourishing implicit in and enforced through the cult of sport can both foil any further cultural conversion of Christians to its spirit and power and provide a lens by which Christians can distinguish “the uniqueness which ought to be the expression of their faith” (J. Ellul, Citation2012, p. 28).Wall, Benjamin S. The Culture of Sport, Bodies of Desire, and the Body of Christ.

The Difference Between ‘Someone’ and ‘Something’An examination and defense of the concept of personality, long central to Western moral culture but now increasingly under attack, by a leading European philosopher. Persons takes issue with major contemporary philosophers, especially in the English-speaking world (such as Parfit and Singer), who have contributed to the eclipse of the idea, and traces the debate back to the foundations of modern philosophy in Descartes and Locke. Robert Spaemann offers extended discussions of the sources of the idea in Christian theology and its development in Western philosophy. He also provides a number of pointed discussions of pressing practical questions–for example, our treatment of the severely disabled human and the moral status of intelligent non-human animals. The book covers a great deal of ground before coming to a focused conclusion: all human beings are persons.Spaemann, Robert. Persons: The Difference between ‘Someone’ and ‘Something’.

The Disabled Church: Human Difference and the Art of Communal WorshipHow do communities consent to difference? How do they recognize and create the space and time necessary for the differences and disabilities of those who constitute them? Christian congregations often make assumptions about the shared abilities, practices, and experiences that are necessary for communal worship. The author of this provocative new book takes a hard look at these assumptions through a detailed ethnographic study of an unusual religious community where more than half the congregants live with diagnoses of Mental, many coming to the church from personal care homes or independent living facilities. Here, people’s participation in worship disrupts and extends the formal orders of worship. Whenever one worships God at Sacred Family Church, there is someone who is doing it differently. Here, the author argues, the central elements and the participation in the symbols of Christian worship raise questions rather than supply clear markers of unity, prompting the question, What do you need in order to have a church that assumes difference at its heart? Based on three years of ethnographic research, The Disabled Church describes how the Sacred Family community, comprising people with very different Mental abilities, backgrounds, and resources, sustains and embodies a common religious identity. It explores how an ethic of difference is both helped and hindered by a church’s embodied theology. Paying careful attention to how these congregants improvise forms of access to a common liturgy, this book offers a groundbreaking theology of worship that engages both the fragility and beauty revealed by difference within the church. As liturgy requires consent to difference rather than coercion, an aesthetic approach to differences within Christian liturgy provides a frame for congregations and Christian liturgists to pay attention to the differences and disabilities of worshippers. This book creates a distinctive conversation between critical disability studies, liturgical aesthetics, and ethnographic theology, offering an original perspective on the relationship between beauty and disability within Christian communities. Here is a transformational theological aesthetics of Christian liturgy that prioritizes human difference and argues for the importance of the Disabled Church.Spurrier, Rebecca R.

The Enabled Life: Christianity in a Disabling WorldAs a much-published author, social commentator and academic, Roy McCloughry is ideally placed to make the latest theological thinking about disability accessible to a wide audience. As a person living with epilepsy who regards his condition, as a ‘strange gift’ from God – he brings rich personal experience of what it’s like to live as a disabled person in a world where acceptance frequently relies on the appearance of normality. Attitudes in the Church too can be strangely unsettling. People are often embarrassed or fearful in encountering disabled people, who are, if the Bible is to be believed, at the heart of the kingdom of God. After all, God does not want us to conform to society’s stereotype of what is normal, but to celebrate diversity by delighting in who we are. We do not need to be ‘cured’ to know God’s healing, empowering love in our lives. Indeed, as Roy’s deeply moving interview with Jean Vanier underlines, the ‘abled’ may well discover their true humanity through learning from those whose humanity has sometimes been called into question.McCloughry, Roy.

The Experience of Spirituality and Disability Sport for British Military Personnel Traumatically Injured in Iraq and Afghanistan: An Interpretative Phenomenological AnalysisThe aim of this article is to explore the spiritual experience of disability—sport—rehabilitation for British Service men and women who have sustained traumatic injuries as a consequence of combative warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan. At present, Great Britain’s military-based initiative, called Battle Back uses disability sport as an integral part of its rehabilitation processes. However, there is a paucity of literature documenting the impact of disability sport, specifically around the spiritual experience of disability–sport–rehabilitation. The article draws upon data gathered from 11 semi-structured interviews with British Service personnel (nine male and two female), the transcripts of which were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Three overarching themes emerged from interview discussion: (a) understandings of spirituality, (b) how disability sport helped to bring back life meaning and purpose, and (c) how the relationship between disability sport and spirituality might be framed in terms of goal striving and goal attainment. Findings indicate how participants used disability sport to re-enter their social worlds and how, as a consequence, they found renewed purpose and meaning in life.Green, Sarah.

The Failure of Theories of PersonhoodThe belief persists in philosophy, religion, science, and popular culture that some special cognitive property of persons like self-consciousness confers a unique moral standing. However, no set of cognitive properties confers moral standing, and metaphysical personhood is not sufficient for either moral personhood or moral standing. Cognitive theories all fail to capture the depth of commitments embedded in using the language of “person.” It is more assumed than demonstrated in these theories that nonhuman animals lack a relevant form of self-consciousness or its functional equivalent. Although nonhuman animals are not plausible candidates for moral personhood, humans too fail to qualify as moral persons if they lack one or more of the conditions of moral personhood. If moral personhood were the sole basis of moral rights, then these humans would lack rights — and precisely for the reasons that nonhuman animals would.Beauchamp, Tom L. “The Failure of Theories of Personhood.” Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal 9 (1999): 309-24.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

The Friendship House Community: Christian Community as a Lived Framework for Theological EducationThe author briefly presents and seeks to interrogate enduring biases present within the dominant framework for engaging in Western Christian theological education. Readers are introduced to the Friendship House Community in Holland, Michigan, as a lived into context for critically engaging questions around faithful Christian life and theological education. In the process, readers are invited to boldly reconsider oft-unexamined questions such as, what exactly is the telos of faithful Christian theological education? Similarly, who ought to serve as both the intended audience of, and understood participant in, theological education? Moving beyond a framework for theological education that focuses primarily on training the pastor, the Friendship House Community is presented as a context in which the telos of Christian theological education is faithful discipleship. From here, then, theological education is presented as that which all who are in Christ ought to participate in themselves and beckon others into. Thus, the author challenges theological educators and pastors to expand our understanding of who the “students” of theological education are, and to consider a more communally embodied pedagogy. A framework for theological education in which each member of the Body of Christ—of which the pastor-in-training is only one part—is understood to be a participant. The author then moves to demonstrating this alternative educational framework in action. This is done through theologically reflecting on the author’s friendship, and mutual discipleship lived out alongside of, one of the Friendship House Community’s founding residents. Within the broader context of the Friendship House Community as a whole, then, discipleship amid shared Christian friendship is offered as a new locale for living into the telos of faithful Christian theological education.Thompson, L.S.

The Future of the Disabled in Liberal Society: An Ethical AnalysisThe Future of the Disabled in Liberal Society questions developments in human genetic research from the perspective of persons with Mental disabilities and their families. Hans S. Reinders argues that when we use terms such as “disease” and “defect” to describe conditions that genetic engineering might well eliminate, we may also be assuming that disabled lives are deplorable and horrific. Reinders points out that the possibility of preventing disabled lives is at odds with our commitment to the full inclusion of disabled citizens in society. The tension between these different perspectives is of concern to all of us as genetic testing procedures proliferate. Reinders warns that preventative uses of human genetics might even become a threat to the social security and welfare benefits that help support disabled persons and their families. Reinders also argues that this conflict cannot be resolved or controlled on the level of public morality. Because a liberal society makes a commitment to individual freedom and choice, its members can consider the diagnostic and therapeutic uses of human genetics as options available to individual citizens. A liberal society will defend reproductive freedom as a matter of principle. Citizens may select their offspring in accord with their own personal values. Reinders concludes that the future of the Mentally disabled in liberal society will depend on the strength of our moral convictions about the value of human life, rather than on the protective force of liberal morality. One of the most important aspects of this book is Reinder’s attention to parents who have come to see the task of raising a disabled child as an enriching experience. These are people who change their conceptions of success and control and, therefore, their conceptions of themselves. They come to value their disabled children for what they have to give. Even though disabled children and disabled adults present parents and society with real challenges, the rewards are just as real. This powerful critique of contemporary bioethics is sure to become required reading for those interested in human development, special education, ethics, philosophy, and theology.Reinders, Hans S.

The Gap Between the Mentally Retarded and the PastorThe aversion that many pastors feel for people with mental retardation likely arises from a desire for stimulating relationship, fear of failure and the unfamiliar, myths about human progress, and a desire to have a powerful, life-transforming ministry. The gap in these relationships mirrors the problems minister face in other relationships. In trying to overcome these feelings, the pastor must be honest about the realities of people with mental retardation, realistic about their limits, aware of the history of the individual and their family, and free to end the relationship at any time. A main goal of pastoral ministry with persons who have mental retardation is to develop a charisma, a natural ability to relate to people with mental retardation with ease and wisdom.Perske, Robert.

The God of Difference: Disability, Youth Ministry, and the Difference Anthropology MakesIn their eagerness to love and care for young people with disabilities, youth ministers and lay people have often failed to appreciate the challenge of human difference. The author shows that studies in youth ministry struggle to hold in tension differences in culture, developmental categories, and disability among youths, often dismissing these differences as oppositional to Christian relationship or community. Drawing on cultural anthropology, humble, embodied attention to the situated character of knowledge can help both scrutinize and regard difference. Embracing difference as a spiritual discipline in ministry with youths with disabilities enables participation in the different, disruptive ministry of Christ.Raffety, Erin. The God of Difference: Disability, Youth Ministry, and the Difference Anthropology Makes.

The Great LevelerGender similarities and differences are examined among disabled persons who are institutionalized using an ethnographic study already published (O’Connor et al., 1998). The sample in the study is 26 participants with 16 being female and 10 being male. Gender differences arise around the importance of relationships and the experience of the wheelchair. There is a lack of awareness of patriarchy, and both genders view a radical difference between disabled and able bodied, and not between the genders. Both genders fight for justice and use non-gender specific language to describe God. Disability in this sample tends to produce a level playing field between the genders.Meakes, Elizabeth, St., Thomas, O’Connor, James, and Susan Carr. The Great Leveler.

The Hope of Heavenly Healing of Disability Part 1: Theological IssuesThis is Part 2 of a two-part article. The elimination view affirms that the disabled will be healed in heaven. While its theological credentials are strong, the elimination view faces philosophical difficulties—epistemic problems (it is said to misjudge the badness of life with disability), moral problems (it is said to express discriminatory attitudes to people with disabilities), and metaphysical problems (it is said to disrupt the personal identity of people with disabilities). In this article, the author defends the elimination view from these charges.Gould, James Barton. The Hope of Heavenly Healing of Disability Part 1: Theological Issues.

The Humanity of the Mentally Disabled: Toward a Theological Account of PersonhoodWhat is it to be a human person? This is the question posed by all human existence, but particularly so by the mentally disabled. Their existence challenges the currently dominant understanding of humanity and personhood. The dependency of the mentally disabled is difficult to reconcile with the liberal conception of man as rational and autonomous. Meanwhile, the standard substantialist account of personhood fails to adequately ground the personal status of the mentally disabled. The author argues that only a theologically grounded relational account of personhood can explain why the mentally disabled are persons deserving of love and respect.Yip, Peirce.

The Marian Tradition and Reality of WomenAfter a brief explanation of the feminist theological perspective, this essay explores three critiques from that perspective of the marian tradition, highlighting ways in which the symbol of Mary has been used to the detriment of the full humanity and dignity of women. A reinterpretive move than examines three parallel possibilities for a new naming of Mary which would cohere with the full liberation of all human beings. No definitive resting point is arrived at, the conclusion being that a renewed theology of Mary will emerge only with renewed attitude and praxis regarding women in the churches.Johnson, Elizabeth A. “The Marian Tradition and Reality of Women.” Horizons 12 (1985).OtherChristianityJournal Article

The Memory Keeper’s DaughterThis fictional story is about a family in the 1960’s who has twins & one of them has Down Syndrome.

The story is not just about Down Syndrome but some really nice things are woven in the story about expecting your child w/a disability can learn, starting support groups, fighting w/schools for inclusion, the IDEA, etc. It also shows how a family is torn apart by an unknown secret.Edwards, Kim.

The Messy Table: A Place for Those With Developmental Disabilities to BelongThe following work advocates for the inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities into the observance of the Eucharist. It utilizes Paul’s comments in 1 Cor 11:17–34 as a basis to suggest that the Lord’s Supper is practiced to a community’s detriment if some believers are marginalized. The author goes on to explore disability theology, and how a proper understanding of disabilities should lead to a communal experience of the Eucharist. It is concluded with a final exhortation for churches and their leaders to begin conversations centering around practical inclusion of persons with developmental disabilities.Case, Travis Hamilton.

The Order of Disturbance: Theological Reflections on Strangeness and Strangers, and the Inclusion of Persons With Intellectual Disabilities in Faith CommunitiesIn churches and faith communities, the presence of persons with intellectual disabilities is frequently experienced as a disturbance of familiar patterns of behavior and interaction. This disturbance is not only rooted in historical and cultural informed mechanisms of exclusion. From a philosophical perspective, it can be characterized as a destabilizing of certainties regarding the place, the group, and the identity in which we live. In Christian theology, this destabilization of group and personal identity is the central theme in commands, stories, and reflections about the position of strangers. Both philosophical and theological reflections point to views of accessibility and hospitality that are based on a symbolic remembering of ‘being a stranger’. This remembrance aims at a learning process in which disturbance of the familiar is not only a consequence of the presence of the stranger but at the same time precondition for true hospitality. Therefore, churches and faith communities should recognize that disturbance by the presence of persons with intellectual disabilities brings its own order. In this sense these views transcend prevailing views of inclusion.Meininger, Herman P.

The Paradox of JoyCan joy be a guide to good decision-making? If every form of joy is not life-enhancing, a concrete and practical account of the Good – or Blessed – Life is required in order to discern true joy. Jesus’ teaching in the Beatitudes revolves around a paradox, when he identifies as “blessed” those experiences, such as poverty or disability, which appear to be the opposite of joyful. For it turns out that true joy lies beyond the ego’s projects for happiness, in becoming reconciled with our lost other, and with aspects of the human experience we would prefer to avoid.Asprey, Christopher. The Paradox of Joy. Journal of Disability and Religion 24, no. 3 (2020): 252-267.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2020.1750536OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Articlejournal
The Paralytic’s Offering: Worship and DisabilityIn this essay, the author argues that people with profound disabilities belong at the heart of our worshipping communities. Psalm 50 [49 LXX] offers us a different angle from which to consider the contribution of people who seem unable to participate in communal worship, and whose experience of God is beyond our perception. Applying the insights drawn from the psalm, the author turns to the narrative of Jesus’ healing the paralytic, and argues that the same dynamic plays out in Mark’s account of the episode. The contribution of people with profoundly limiting disabilities begins to emerge. The obvious need of the paralytic for the healing brought by Christ also draws his friends to Christ. The primary need of the paralytic is, as Christ shows, his need for forgiveness—a need shared by all present. This same dynamic, the author suggests, plays out in L’Arche communities: those who come as assistants discover their own need for God’s love. The desire to help may have inspired the friends of the paralytic, but they are drawn into the space of revelation and forgiveness. Likewise, it was the cry for love that Jean Vanier heard, and to which he responded by forming the first L’Arche community. Those two disabled men brought Vanier closer to Jesus, and helped him create L’Arche.Volpe, Medi. The Paralytic’s Offering: Worship and Disability.

The Participation of Jews Who Are Blind in the Torah ServiceJews who are blind are generally obligated to observe the commandments, even those which apparently require vision. They may certainly lead prayer services and chant from the Haftarah for the congregation. Torah reading is a special case since it must be performed directly from a kosher scroll. while adaptive devices may eventually allow a blind person to read directly from the parchment, at this point there are three options for Jews who are blind to read Torah: (1) To receive an aliyah and repeat the words after the sighted reader; (2) to serve as meturgamon, the simultaneous translator of the text (like the Talmudic Rav Yosef, who was blind); (2) chant the maftir section from a braille Bible after it is chanted by a sighted reader as shevii. This responsum was approved by the CJLS on 15, 2003 by a vote of 16 in favor (16-0-0). The responsum includes technical information [Jewish Law] regarding the inclusion of Jews who are blind in the Torah service.Nevins, Daniel S.

The Perceptions of Persons With Disabilities, Primary Caregivers and Church Leaders Regarding Barriers and Facilitators to Participation in a Methodist CongregationPersistent obstacles prevent persons with disabilities from participation in community life, including church activities. This article presents the findings of a descriptive case study, documenting the perceptions of three distinct participant groups concerning barriers and facilitators to participation in their Christian congregation. From a systems perspective, the findings verified that factors in their congregation’s environment hinder, rather than enable, the participation of persons with disabilities. Necessary shifts in the conceptualization of disability that sustain exclusion, and the need to promote belonging and participation in the congregation, were indicated.McMahon-Panther, Gail, and Juan Bornman. “The Perceptions of Persons with Disabilities, Primary Caregivers and Church Leaders regarding Barriers and Facilitators to Participation in a Methodist Congregation.” Journal of Disability & Religion 27, no. 1 (2023): 39-85.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2020.1859040OtherChristianityJournal Article

The Personal, Political, Historical and Sacred Drama of TransformationThis article focuses on those of us who work with people with disabilities in the Latino community. It is of utmost importance when delivering services to Latino men and Latina women that we understand traditional cultural stories such as uncritical loyalty and patriarchy and the role of religion in their daily lives. It is equally important to understand the stories of US culture especially tribalism/racism allied with capitalism. Both sets of cultural stories have for the most part failed in helping us to respond to the needs of people with disabilities in the Latino community. Many of us get caught between these stories of both cultures and do not know how to deal with the ensuing confusion and conflict. What we can and need to do together is to create stories that become the basis of a new cultural response to people with disabilities in la comunidad Latina. From the perspective of a theory of transformation the article uses the power of story and redefines culture as a network of stories that hang together in order to create for us a world of meaning; it invites us to participate in the most important story of our lives, the journey of transformation through the core drama of life. On our journey each of us both people with disabilities and those of us who work with them have four faces by which to encounter life: a personal, political, historical and sacred face that we practice in the service of four fundamentally different ways of life. These four faces of our being provide for us the concrete evidence as to whether or not we are relating to people with disabilities in a creative or destructive manner. The article demonstrates that only in the service of transformation are the four faces of our being fully present; this experience of wholeness allows us to participate together with people with disabilities in order to create new and more loving alternatives in the delivery of services. The article offers specific themes and strategies that identify how in daily practice we as providers can transform the way we relate to people with disabilities in the Latino community.Abalos, David T.

The Philosopher of Ambiguity: Exploring Stories of Spirituality of People With Aphasia Through the Lens of Merleau-PontySpirituality as a concept has only recently begun to be considered in speech and language therapy (SLT) research and practice, and phenomenology as a research methodology is also not widely used in SLT research. Yet, concepts propounded by the phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty arguably offer a useful theoretical framework from which to view certain aspects of SLT, including the concept of spirituality and how it is expressed by people with a communication difficulty. In this project, eight people with aphasia were interviewed about their spirituality. The interviews were transcribed, themes identified, and stories created. These stories were viewed using one of the concepts propounded by Merleau-Ponty, namely ambiguity.MacKenzie, Sophie, and Ian Marsh.

The Poor, the Crippled, the Blind, and the Lame. Physical, and Sensory Disability in the Gospels of the New TestamentThe New Testament gospels feature numerous social exchanges between Jesus and people with various physical and sensory disability. Yet, traditional biblical scholarship has considered these exchanges as merely incidental. For many scholars addressing the gospels, people with disability described therein have not been considered agents in their own right but exist only to highlight the actions of Jesus as a miracle worker. The aim of this study is to use disability as a lens through which to explore a number of these passages anew. Although these pericopae have been examined at length by numerous scholars, they have rarely been figured specifically in relation to disability. Using the cultural model of disability as the theoretical basis for this examination, we contend that ancient authors use disability as a means of understanding, organising, and interpreting the experiences of humanity. In much the same way that different cultures have their own unique interpretations and expectations of the body based on gender, ethnicity, or sexuality, so it is also the case with human ability/disability. In this way, every body, whether deemed able-bodied or ‘deviant’, is assigned meaning within the context of its own social, cultural, and religious milieu. This study examines both the Greco-Roman and Jewish background of the gospels prior to assessing the New Testament gospels themselves through three case studies, each addressing different aspects of human ability/disability within the framework of Jesus’ ministry. These investigations highlight the ways in which the gospel writers reinforce and reflect, as well as subvert, culturally-driven constructions of disability in the ancient world. We contend that the use of disability as a tool for reading the New Testament will afford us the opportunity to evaluate the gospel material from a new and illuminating perspective and thus contribute to the growing field of disability and biblical studies.Gosbell, Louise A.

The Power of Inclusion and FriendshipThe current view on inclusion does not allow us to recognize is that inclusion entails a receiving end. In this view inclusion means the recognition of persons with disabilities as citizens. What it fails to notice is that some of the most important values in human lives make us dependent upon recognition by others. “To be accepted,” “to be befriended,” “to be loved,” indicate invaluable experiences that are written in the passive tense. They indicate values people cannot realize by themselves. This paper reflects on how the notion of friendship as a core value may help to develop our thinking about inclusion.Reinders, Hans S.

The Prophetic Challenge of Disability ArtFor many persons with chronic illness and disability, medical images can come to represent their stigmatized “otherness.” A growing group of artists, however, are transforming their medical images into works of visual art, which better represent their lived experience and challenge viewers to see disability and illness differently. Although few of these artists are self-professed Christians, they challenge the Church to live into the communion to which it has been called. Using a method of correlation, Christian ethicists can find within this art the potential for: (1) creative resistance to modern deployments of biopower, (2) a celebration of divine poiesis, (3) opportunities for communion, and (4) prophetic challenges to the cult of normalcy. Disability art encourages a new ethic of communion in which embodied vulnerabilities are shared, celebrated, and reoriented toward the ground of being.Stahl, D.

The Psychology of Prostheses: Substitution Strategies and Notions of NormalitySubstitution strategies and notions of normality: this chapter explores the range of responses to prostheses, with a consideration of disability studies, psychoprosthetics and sign language. After briefly considering limb prostheses, it turns to modern auditory aids and the Deaf community, which has experienced a particularly fraught relationship with technological developments and medical professionals. The tension between the clinical approach to fixing the body and cultural adaptations has at its core different attitudes to substitution strategies and normality. The chapter concludes with suggestions about how the alternative mode of communication of sign language may inform our understanding of the ancient world, particularly with reference to oratory, pantomime, and art history.E.

The Road to Membership: The Role of Resilience on Seeking and Maintaining Membership in a Faith Community for Families of Children With DisabilitiesThe participation of children and adolescents with disabilities and their families in faith communities may be limited due to the various unique challenges that these families face. This qualitative study examines reports by 9 parents of their family’s experiences in becoming members of a faith community while examining the role of family resilience throughout this process. Results indicate that parents who displayed resilient attitudes and behaviors were more likely to report positive experiences, a more positive outlook on negative experiences, and full membership in their faith community. Implications for faith communities and parents of children with a disability are shared.Richardson, E. W., & Stoneman, Z. (2015).

The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Rehabilitation:Many recovering substance users report quitting drugs because they wanted a better life. The road of recovery is the path to a better life but a challenging and stressful path for most. There has been little research among recovering persons in spite of the numbers involved, and most research has focused on substance use outcomes. This study examines stress and quality of life as a function of time in recovery, and uses structural equation modeling to test the hypothesis that social supports, spirituality, religiousness, life meaning, and 12-step affiliation buffer stress toward enhanced life satisfaction. Recovering persons (N = 353) recruited in New York City were mostly inner-city ethnic minority members whose primary substance had been crack or heroin. Longer recovery time was significantly associated with lower stress and with higher quality of life. Findings supported the study hypothesis; the ‘buffer’ constructs accounted for 22% of the variance in life satisfaction. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.Wringley, Michael, and Mark LaGory. The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Rehabilitation.

The Role of Spirituality in Living With DisabilitiesThis paper reviews the existing literature on the role of spirituality in the experiences of people with disabilities as well as parents of children with disabilities. Spirituality appears to provide meanings, inner strength, peace, and hope to both groups of individuals. In addition, many experience self-transformation through living with disability, becoming more mature and compassionate. Future research is needed to explore the deeper role of spirituality to expand and deepen our understanding of the core nature of spirituality in living with disabilities. There is also a need for research on how to integrate spirituality into the practice of working with individuals with disabilities as well as families of children with disabilities.Zhang, Dongdong, and Frank R. Rusch. The Role of Spirituality in Living with Disabilities. Journal of Disability and Religion 9, no. 1 (2005): 83-98.https://doi.org/10.1300/j095v09n01_06OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Articlejournal

The Role of the Media in Promoting Images of DisabilityIt is a commonly held theory that one cannot legislate attitude change. One can legislate behavioural change and hopefully changes in attitude will follow. Attitudes, beliefs, and misconceptions of society constitute a major barrier for people with disabilities. Attitude change can follow on heightened awareness, increased contact, and increased meaningful communication between disabled and non-disabled people. Although personal interaction is the most effective medium for conveying the personal experience of disability, the mass media can be an effective vehicle for bringing about greater understanding, and a consequent gradual change in public perceptions, of people with disabilities.Dahl, Marilyn. 1993. “The Role of the Media in Promoting Images of Disability.” Canadian Journal of Communication 18: 75-80.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

The Sacrament of Confirmation and Profound Intellectual Disability – A Catholic PerspectiveTwo reasons can be seemingly identified for the fact that people with profound intellectual disabilities tend not to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. One of them seems to be a misguided and ambivalent perception of such people, either frequently considered” innocent saints” not needing sacraments at all, or perceived unworthy of receiving sacraments. The other reason seems to be a lack of adequate recognition of the importance of the sacrament itself. This text identifies the sacrament of Confirmation as crucial both for the very existence and development of every individual member of Christ’s Body.Maliszewska, Anna.

The State of the Question: Religion, Medicine, Disability and Health in Late AntiquityThis essay provides an overview of the scholarship on the intersections between religion and health-related topics (specifically, medicine, illness, and disability) in Late Antiquity. We characterize the dominant approaches in two, somewhat distinct scholarly trajectories—the History of Medicine and Disability Studies—and urge future scholars to better integrate the insights of each approach. We also identify a range of common methodological missteps that plague the scholarly work to date in the hopes of refining the methodology of future scholarship.Marx-Wolf, H., and K.

The Theological Views of Some of My Mentally Retarded FriendsAt times children with mental retardation speak without pretense about their views of God. These statements may reveal the abuse and rejection which these children have experienced, and can be a reflection of destructive theologies being taught in the church. While these children do not understand abstract formulations of the faith, they often reveal its simple profundity and beauty with their insights. Their frankness and honesty, which can be entertaining, serves to teach us valuable lessons about the faith.Perske, Robert. The Theological Views of Some of My Mentally Retarded Friends.

The Unforeseen Relationship Between Spirituality and Psychiatric Medication: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological StudyIn the last 30 years there has been a simultaneous rise in psychiatric medication use and in the numbers of people seeking to address spiritual issues in mental health treatment. To date, there is little research into perceptions of how these two factors interact. This study explores the interrelationship between spirituality and psychiatric medication, and its impact on the journey toward recovery. The concept of spiritual side effects (SSE) is introduced. Broadly speaking, SSE were experienced as either spiritually helpful or spiritually harmful. The findings suggest that some people are engaging spiritually with their prescriptions din critical ways that shape treatment outcomes.Vanderpot, LE., Swinton, J., and H.

The Whirlwinds of War: Conflict, Disability, and Theological ReflectionWith this new century we face increasing levels of war, conflict and violence, and major causes of disability; in times of conflict people with disabilities are more likely to be neglected; the needs of people with disabilities prevail long past the end of hostility. This essay presents theological and other resources that give spiritual and moral depth to the quest for an end to violence. Reflection on theology and the struggle of people with disabilities can sustain our hopes and our actions, can give energy and vitality to our attempts to live in communities of resistance and solidarity, and can break the boundaries that place others beyond the scope of our moral concern.Hallahan, Lorna.

The Wound That Heals: Disability and Suffering in the Thought of Søren KierkegaardThe author draws attention to the crucial role that suffering and disability play in the writings of Kierkegaard’s “Second Authorship.” In these writings he appealed to persons with disabilities as a critique and a challenge to the bourgeois values of able-bodied society. He discussed a figure called the “useless sufferer” to argue that any person—no matter his or her capabilities or impairments—can fulfill the requirements of Christianity, the challenge of making one’s suffering transparent to the love of God, and loving oneself as one is created to be.McCabe, Kevin Patrick.

The Wounds of the Risen Christ: Evidence for the Retention of Disabling Conditions in the Resurrection BodyThe risen Christ retained in his body the “marks of the nails”, suggesting that we might in our post-resurrection bodies retain what Amos Yong calls the “marks of impairment”. I argue that the “marks of the nails” in John 20:25 are best interpreted as persisting wounds rather than healed scars, and that this has profound implications for shaping what we can expect of eschatological life. The eschatological “marks of impairment” may be more than merely a trace or memory of weakness or disability, but rather the substantial embodiment of weakness and disability.Whitaker, Maja. “The Wounds of the Risen Christ: Evidence for the Retention of Disabling Conditions in the Resurrection Body.” Journal of Disability & Religion 26, no. 3 (2022): 280-293.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2021.2016547OtherChristianityJournal Article

The Writing on the Wall … Alzheimer’s DiseaseFrom a reflection on the challenges of providing care for a person with Alzheimer’s (AD) disease, a daughter’s look at mom’s faithful care asks questions of AD disabilities, of virtues, and of the necessary and uniquely human prospects of interdependent/Trinitarian modeling existence. The first question considers the pathology of AD and other complicating health conditions. The second question explores the development of virtues, such as flexibility, stamina, humor, fidelity, and self-care that may enrich care-giving. The third question suggests that the current model ofUS healthcare inadequately finds justice for persons marginalized either by their unwelcome dementia or isolating care-giving.Iozzio, M. J.

Then and Now. Canonical Law on DisabilitiesIn simplest terms, canon law forbids the ordination of ‘disabled’ men to the priesthood. It is worth pointing out that the issue of impaired persons in holy orders is still not satisfactorily resolved in the modern Catholic Church. In 1995 the Vatican ‘provoked fury by issuing a decree banning men who suffer from an allergy to gluten from becoming priests’ (Bunting 1995). The Vatican insisted on communion wafers containing gluten as the only suitable kind of wafers; gluten can trigger the debilitating coeliac disease. This episode highlights the cultural and socio-economic consequences of what happens when impairments (the underlying medical phenomenon) are loaded with disabilities (the imposition of cultural construction).Metzler, I. “Then and Now.

Theodicy and End-of-Life CareThis article examines theodicy—the vindication of God’s goodness and justice in the face of the existence of evil from the perspectives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We focus on the thought processes that chaplains, social workers, and other professionals may use in their care interventions to address issues of theodicy for patients. Theodical issues may cause anxiety and distress for believers, but they can also potentially be a source of relief and release. Palliative care patients with a religious worldview often struggle with whether God cares about, or has sent, their pain. How social workers and other clinicians respond to such questions will have a great impact on how patients express themselves and use their religious beliefs to cope with their situations. For patients holding religious/spiritual perspectives, discussion of theodicy may facilitate closer relationships between patients and their caregivers and result in more compassionate and empathic care.Dein, S., Swinton, J., and SQ.

Theodicy, Disability, and Fragility: An Attempt to Find Meaning in the Aftermath of QuadriplegiaThis article, weighing the implications of theodicy for the experience of disability, first delineates the problem of most theodicies, namely, their focus on primary causation and their failure to attend to secondary causes; the laws of nature inherent to the evolution of life. It then explores various ways Christology and the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love can imbue suffering with meaning, and so help people flourish in the context of disability and loss.Clifton, Shane. “Theodicy, Disability, and Fragility: An Attempt to Find Meaning in the Aftermath of Quadriplegia.” Theological Studies 76, no. 4 (2015): 765-84.OtherChristianityJournal Article

Theologizing Inclusion: 1 Corinthians 12 and the Politics of the Body of ChristContemporary disability theologians have increasingly lighted on 1 Corinthians chapter 12 as a classic biblical depiction of what is today known as an inclusive social model. This article traces theological attempts to define the concept of inclusion and advance that emerging consensus by offering a close reading of 1 Cor. chapter 12. St. Paul’s famous “body life” chapter offers a conceptually rich and theologically sophisticated account of the spiritual gifts suggesting that every member of the church is to be understood as an active giver or conduit of divine love, a giving that is not reducible to any person’s supposed physiological or intellectual deficiencies, nor the supposed gift of people with disabilities to serve as reminders that we are all destined to be dependent on others. The ecclesial discernment being proposed if Christians are to receive the gifts of all members of the Christian community depends on learning to look beyond the sociological and demographic certainties typically attached to individual congregants.Brock, Brian.

Theology and Chronic Pain: Some Initial ReflectionsChronic pain has received little attention within the academic study of disability and religion. This is a significant loss not only because pain is a common embodied experience but also because reflection on pain offers valuable challenges to existing models of disability: pain does not connect neatly to advocacy work and does not fit well within social and minority understandings of disability, and even medical understandings of pain are inadequate. This essay reflects on pain as a source of knowledge and a way of knowing that is relevant for theological and ethical reflection, particularly within disability and embodiment theologies.Creamer, Deborah Beth. Theology and Chronic Pain: Some Initial Reflections. Journal of Disability and Religion 17, no. 2 (2013): 212-219.https://doi.org/10.1080/15228967.2013.778516OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Articlejournal

Theology and Disability: Changing the ConversationThis article suggests that faith communities need to change the way disability is conceived and talked about in order to more fulsomely welcome people with disabilities as participants in community life. Speaking from the context of parenting a child with disabilities, the author indicates ways the conversation needs to move beyond depicting disability as a bodily deprivation or problem to be cured or done away with, beyond the able-disabled binary that pits a normal “inside” against an “outside” in need of normalization, and beyond mere inclusive “accommodation” to disability as an access issue. As the conversation shifts, disability might become received as a matter of human difference rather than deviance, and accordingly, received as gift, one that disrupts and preempts easy closures, but in the end opens new transformative possibilities for being vulnerably human together in mutual relation.Reynolds, Thomas E.

There Is a Pain – So Utter: Narrating Chronic Pain and Disability in Antiquity and ModernityAlthough chronic pain subjugates and fragments the body, it is rarely categorised as a form of disability, as it is thought of as a symptom rather than a medical condition. Yet, chronic pain demands far more complex communication and signification processes that often defy established biomedical taxonomies. Moreover, individualised pain-related terminology, cultural barriers, and defective pain communication often create a dissonant relationship between chronic pain sufferers and healthcare providers. This chapter is a comparative study of chronic pain as a hidden disability in antiquity and modernity. It divides its attention between two modern chronic pain sufferers, the nineteenth-century American poetess Emily Dickinson and the twentieth-century police lieutenant Howard Harris (whose case was examined and reported by Arthur Kleinman in his seminal book Illness Narratives: Suffering, Healing and the Human Condition), and one ancient sufferer, the second-century ce Mysian orator Aelius Publius Theodoros Aristides. Extra emphasis is placed on the paradoxical co-existence of chronic pain’s ineffability and the effective verbalisation of pain as the ultimate litmus test of literary genius. The argument in a nutshell is that effective patient–physician resonance was and still is a sine qua non for the communication and curing of chronic pain, while narrative-based medicine (NBM) was and still is a powerful tool that enables the development of such a relationship between the patient and the physician (ancient and modern alike).Petridou, G. “There is a Pain – So Utter –’: Narrating Chronic Pain and Disability in Antiquity and Modernity” (2021): 67-87.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Things You Learn Lying on the Bathroom FloorThis article examines the challenges faced by those with physical impairments and disabilities in engaging in ordained or full-time ministry. It discusses the fears and issues perceived and felt to the author’s identity as he attempts to discern what is “enough” in a person called to ministry in terms of functionality and productivity. The article seeks to suggest that identity is given by God, rather than other societal elements or forces. Finally, it suggests that the Church of Christ benefits exponentially from receiving ministry from those who are impaired and disabled and, as a result, expectations of ministers, lay and ordained, may need to be refined.Spenceley, Haydon Du Garde.

Thinking Theologically About InclusionAn examination of the nature of disability is followed by the author’s apologia for the development of an inclusive theology rather than a liberation theology. Inclusion of persons with disabilities in communities of faith raises the questions: Who is the person to be included? Who is the community in which the person would be included? Two overarching theological themes, the imago dei and the body of Christ, are developed. Other issues briefly discussed include hospitality (as both guest and host) and hesed, relationships to God and among the Christian community, limitations and perfection, theodicy and unity in diversity.Hedges-Goettl, Barbara J.

This Abled Body: Rethinking Disabilities in Biblical StudiesThe burgeoning field of disability studies has recently emerged within the humanities and social sciences and, as a result, disability is no longer seen as the biological condition of an individual body but as a complex product of social, political, environMental, and biological discourses. The groundbreaking essays of This Abled Body engage biblical studies in conversation with the wider field of disability studies. They explore the use of the conceptual category “disability” in biblical and Near Eastern texts and examine how conceptions of disability become a means of narrating, interpreting, and organizing human life. Employing diverse approaches to biblical criticism, scholars explore methodological issues and specific texts related to Physical and Cognitive disabilities. Responses to the essays by established disability activists and academics working in the social sciences and humanities conclude the volume. The contributors are Martin Albl, Hector Avalos, Bruce C.

This Is a Spiritual Experience: Perspectives of Latter-Day Saint Families Living With a Child With DisabilitiesThe presence of a child with disabilities elicits a variety of stress demands on the family. Religion is recognized as a powerful personal, family, and cultural variable. However, little is known about the influence of religion in dealing with disability among families within particular religious groups. This descriptive study explored themes of spiritual belief and religious support among families of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS, or Mormon) with a child with developmental disabilities. Parents shared perspectives of meaning that emerged from experiences with religion and family beliefs perceived to be unique. The core theme, “This is a Spiritual Experience,” provides the foundation for a descriptive model that depicts aspects of finding meaning and perceived transcendence. Marshall, E. S., Olsen, S. F., Mandleco, B. L., Dyches, T. T., Allred, K. W., & Sansom, N. (2003). This is a spiritual experience: Perspectives of Latter-day Saint families living with a child with disabilities.

This Is What Most People Do: Participation and Normalcy in the Church of SwedenThe Christian Church, which—due to its message of God’s grace towards all mankind—should be expected to lead the way in matters of humanity, seems to be stuck in a notion of normalcy; the kind of participation known by the church usually aims at a practice involving activities that require capacities not present among persons with severe disabilities. This study is about persons with intellectual disability and their experiences of participation in the Church of Sweden. The first section discusses the concept of participation. The second section is about participation and normalcy in the Church of Sweden and includes the stories of Eric, Unni, and David who all have an intellectual disability and want to belong to the People of the Faith.Vikdahl, Linda.

Very little information is available on how spirituality impacts individuals with Asperger’s syndrome, a high functioning form of autism.

Through the Eyes of Children: Theological Lessons With and From Children With Severe Communication DisabilitiesAs a speech therapist working with children with severe communication disabilities, the author has had glimpses of some of the theological realities of such children. Several case examples are discussed against their social and cultural backgrounds, including attitudes to disability in general and communication disabilities in particular. The discussion then ventures to some examples of children and theology and some of the children’s expressions of their awareness of their relationship with God. There is a need for a hermeneutical competence for health, rehabilitation, and pastoral workers in engaging with children with severe disabilities directly and interpreting their awareness of their relationship with God to others to embrace them not only as recipients but also as contributors in faith communities and in society at large.Geiger, Martha.

Toward Accessible Faith & Flourishing: Reconsidering Greek Intellectualism in Western Christian TheologyFrom its inception, the Western theological tradition exhibits a fascination with and appropriation of ancient Greek philosophy. This conceptual intertwining of philosophy and theology, as exemplified by Augustine and Aquinas, privileges rationality in the “natural order” and in the pursuit of virtue and human flourishing. Despite generative insights at the intersection of disability and theology in other aspects, the “enfolding” tendencies of a conceptual framework inherited from Plato and Aristotle relegate people with intellectual disabilities to the margins of human flourishing. Contemporary theologians vary in the extent of their adoption of these norms and ideals related to the natural order and human rationality. The future of disability theology must engage a “pastoral deconstruction” that questions these deep privileging tenants of the Western intellectual tradition if it is to welcome the richly embodied theological contribution of people with intellectual disabilities.Dow, Keith. “Toward Accessible Faith & Flourishing: Reconsidering Greek Intellectualism in Western Christian Theology.” Journal of Disability & Health 26, no. 4 (2022): 439-458.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2021.1881023OtherChristianityJournal Article
Towards a Feminist Theory of DisabilityWe need a feminist theory of disability, both because 16 percent of wom disabled, and because the oppression of disabled people is closely linked to t tural oppression of the body. Disability is not a biological given; like gender, i cially constructed from biological reality. Our culture idealizes the body a mands that we control it. Thus, although most people will be disabled at some in their lives, the disabled are made “the other,” who symbolize failure of c and the threat of pain, limitation, dependency, and death. If disabled peop their knowledge were fully integrated into society, everyone’s relation to her/ body would be liberatWendell, Susan. “Towards a Feminist Theory of Disability.” Hypathia 4, no. 2 (1989): 104-23.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article
Towards a Glossary of Depression and Psychological Distress in Ancient Roman CultureThe pain of living, malaise and existential distress are all diseases which have come to be well recognized in contemporary societies. Not always easy to identify, they only occasionally reveal their disturbing and ambiguous nature, often hiding behind a system of attitudes that one would not hesitate to define as ‘normal’. Undoubtedly over the centuries – and especially in relation to the various socio-cultural and geographical conditions – the concept of infirmitas has undergone significant changes and variations, perhaps mostly in reference to the mind. 1Puliga, D. “Towards a Glossary of Depression and Psychological Distress in Ancient Roman Culture.” (2015): 83-100.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article
Towards a Greater Dialogue on Disability Between Muslims and ChristiansAttitudes toward disability and disabled people by Muslims—focusing on attitudes in the Middle East and North Africa—and Christians—focusing on the West (here taken to mean Europe and the Americas)—were examined through a grounded theory literature search, with the study being divided into three phases of reading and analysis. The aims of study were to develop a dialogue on disability between the two faiths, to inform an understanding of the attitudes to disability, and to inform the social practice of promoting support and equality. The study finds that Islam and Christianity have much in common and are a force for good in promoting and developing disability equality by both Muslims and Christians.Hayhoe, Simon.

Towards a Theology of Disability Sport: A Misconstrued Game PlanEffort devoted to exploring a theology of disability sport is not only misdirected but counterproductive to the interests of athletes with a disability. A theology of sport, in a generic sense, has emerged in the context of theologies addressing areas of specific interest and it is this expansive process that could promote a theology of disability sport. This prospect is not surprising, and is perhaps seen as being caring and inclusive. Athletes with a disability do need and deserve special attention, recognition and support. In general, people with a disability are often regarded as disadvantaged, sometimes as inferior, not only physically, but socially, and even spiritually. From a spiritual point of view, this reaction has led to disability being linked to moral imperfection, as a punishment for sin, as a test of faith, or as an opportunity for redemption through suffering (Eiesland & Saliers, 1998; Yong, 2011). In response to such concepts there have been calls to explore a theology of disability but this, and I think quite rightly, may be rejected in favor of an inclusive theology of humankind. To pursue a theology of disability sport is to reinforce a familiar reaction towards people with a disability. For the athletes involved, a theology of disability sport may not only be unwelcome but unintentionally discriminatory.Watts, Graeme. Towards a Theology of Disability Sport: A Misconstrued Game Plan.

Towards an Understanding of Spirituality in the Context of Nonverbal Autism: A Scoping ReviewPeople with nonverbal autism are an underresearched group. Spirituality is fundamental to all humanness; therefore, the spirituality of these people is worthy of exploration. A scoping literature review involving comprehensive searches of empirical literature was conducted in three phases, with main themes identified. Gaps in academic literature prompted a further two search phases focused on nonacademic works. Little empirical research exists concerning the spirituality of people with nonverbal autism. Nonacademic literature provides a valuable source of information on this topic. This research forms part of a continuing study, so it is limited to identifying research gaps and future research directions.Hills, Karenne, Clapton, Jayne, and Pat Dorsett.

Transforming Friendship: An Essay in Honor of Jean VanierThis paper is written to honor Jean Vanier for being awarded with the Templeton Prize 2015. It revisits the topic of friendship in his work. The aim is to show that there is a strong connection in Vanier’s views on friendship and his understanding of the providential nature of L’Arche. To highlight this aspect of his thinking, the connection of friendship and providence is contrasted with the modern view that connects friendship with choice. Even though Vanier values Aristotle’s views on friendship, he clearly does not follow the ancient philosopher. Vanier emphasizes the transforming nature of friendships in L’Arche, which is very different from Aristotle’s conception that in important respects returns in the modern view as friendship as the object of choice.Reiders, Hans S.

The fundamental principal of this approach is that humans are more than physical; they are also spiritual (Smith, 1995). Spirituality and disability are intricately interrelated, yet spirituality is too often the missing link in therapy for people with disabilities (Boswell, Knight, & Hamer, 2001). Transpersonal therapy can be a useful strategy for therapists, pastoral counselors, social workers, and rehabilitation counselors to assist people with disabilities in exploring Benson’s (1996) “faith factor.” The faith factor is a combination of the relaxation response and remembered wellness. Exploration of the faith factor, within a transpersonal framework, can facilitate the development, or affirmation, of a spiritual self. As a result of this approach to therapy, people with physical, psychiatric, intellectual and cognitive disabilities can find hope, as well as a connection or reconnection with themselves,Hollingsworth, Lisa A., and Mary J.

Triumph From Anguish: The Inspiration of the Special OlympicsThrough violent revolution or quiet changes to laws, societies across the globe are working toward the ideal of equality for all, but this equality is particularly elusive for one segment of the human family—people with intellectual disabilities. In every society on Earth, this population is routinely denied access to health care, education, employment, social contact, and other opportunities that lead to long, fulfilling lives. The Special Olympics movement is waging a dignity revolution worldwide to change this reality though the efforts of hundreds of thousands of volunteers working with more than 4 million athletes. The equality challenge for Special Olympics is unlike that of any other because it does not rest on the ideal of achieving sameness but rather on the opposite ideal of welcoming difference. This will require not just the addition of services for “them” but an attitude change for all of “us.” When international bodies and policymakers meet, they will need to include people with intellectual disabilities at the table. When metrics are set, leaders will need unequivocal targets to reach. When censuses and other measurements are made, they will need to include this population and ensure they are no longer hidden. Finally, people the world over will need to adopt an open mind and an unleashed heart. Then, we can declare victory in the dignity revolution for people with intellectual disabilities.Shriver, Timothy. Triumph From Anguish: The Inspiration of the Special Olympics.

Two Troubles: The Dramatic Tragedy of Western MedicineThis chapter employs the familiar temporal constraints of the clinical encounter, and the asymmetries in power in relation to medical authority between patients and clinicians. From there, it deploys the literary critical writings of Aristotle, Nietzsche’s idiosyncratic Romantic reinterpretation of Greek drama and Socratic knowledge, and the possible dialectical interplay of influence between Attic dramatic tragedy and the healing cult of Asclepius, as heuristics for understanding and interrogating the contradictions and shortcomings in Western medical practice, specifically the clinical encounter and its textual analogue, the published medical case report (MCR). In so doing, this chapter argues that the spatiotemporal and narrative imperatives of the clinical encounter (and MCR) share strong genre similarities with dramatic tragedy and progress through the devices of pathos, anagnorisis and peripeteia. As such, the dominance of this genre has created a lineage of ‘forgotten others’: the antecedent influence of dramatic tragedy, and its antagonistic narrative structure, on the clinical encounter; the possibility of disease experienced across the life course according to the temporal expansiveness and heterogeneity of action common to the epic genre; the silenced narrative of the patient, as mutual agonist rather than vanquished antagonist. This chapter concludes with a look towards ways in which new forms of clinical encounter and collaboration can develop between clinicians and patients as cooperative agents operating outside the genre dictates of the medical case qua dramatic tragedy.Flexer, M.

Understanding Humanity and Disability: Building an Ecological PerspectiveAssuming that theological anthropologies are put to work for particular historical projects, this essay examines recent contributions in this area in view of the project of inclusion. It claims that theological arguments in support of both the end and means of inclusion neglect the fact that from the perspective of creation, inclusion is the default position, and therefore requires no argument. Disability experience is not merely something that needs to be overcome. An alternative strategy is to consider an ecological view on disability by looking at the notion of ‘weeds’ as a conceptual byproduct of human design. The essay concludes that this perspective generates different questions that enable us to think about disability in terms of the goodness of beingReinders, HS. “Understanding Humanity and Disability: Probing an Ecological Perspective.” Studies in Christian Ethics 26, no. 1 (2013): 37-49. https://www-webofscience-com.libproxy.temple.edu/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:000344199800004.OtherChristianityJournal Article

Understanding the Voices of Disability Advocates in Physician Assisted Suicide DebatesChristians have an obligation to attend to the voices of persons who are crying out that their dignity and very lives are in jeopardy when physician-assisted suicide (PAS) becomes legalized. The following essay begins with an account of the concept of “disability moral psychology,” which elucidates the unique ways persons with disabilities perceive the world, based on their phenomenological experience. The author then explores the disability critique of PAS and the shared social conditions of persons who are chronically disabled and terminally ill. Finally, the author positions the disability critique within Christian moral deliberations on PAS to unearth its significance for Christian ethics. To bear witness to a compassionate God, theological and ethical judgments concerning PAS must seek perspectives from persons who claim that their dignity and even their lives are in jeopardy by the practice.Stahl, D.

Unexpected Guests at God’s Banquet: Welcoming People With Disabilities Into the ChurchI love the chapter that unpacks the Luke 14 parable of the great banquet. It points out that each of us is the unexpected guest. This provides key recognition of our common need for God’s grace and a new understanding of what the Master intends the church and his kingdom to be. Webb-Mitchell is a superb storyteller who weaves in stories from his work as music educator, special educator and pastor. They reveal much that helps the reader see strength coexisting with weakness. This is one of the earliest books to argue that hospitality to strangers is not merely for the stranger but enables each of us to receive what the stranger has to offer.Webb-Mitchell, Brett.

Using Our Bodies Faithfully: Christian Friendship and the Life of WorshipThe paper explores the significance of our bodies for an understanding of what it means to be a member of the body of Christ and ultimately for what it means to be human. Within the body of Christ, our bodies cease to be our own. We discover that who we are is who we are “in Christ.” As we come to recognise that the essence of the body of Christ is its diversity and unification in Christ, so we begin to see the importance of bodies that some might consider to be different. The mark of the body of Christ is the diversity of the bodies within it. Unity is created and held not through equality but via diversity-in-Christ. Bodies matter. Through reflecting on the experience of intellectual disability, dementia and mental health problems, the paper lays out a theology of the liturgical body exploring issues such as: the problem with mutuality in relationships with God, the holiness of all human bodies and the critical significance of Christian friendship for enabling the day-to-day life of worship.Swinton, John.

Value Them as Members of the Community: Existing Support Structures in Mosques for South Asian Muslim Families of Children With IDD Living in the United StatesCongregational support plays an essential role in the lives of Muslim families of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Yet, little is known about support provided by mosques for Muslim families of children with IDD. Using semi-structured interviews, this study examined available and accessed mosque support structures by three South Asian Muslim parents of children with IDD living in the United States. Parents expressed strong emotional and social support from the mosque and positively viewed available respite care. However, they identified lack of formal support for physical accommodations, little support structures for newly immigrated parents, and strong cultural stigma. Parents also reported an absence of informal support structures for parent wellbeing and advocated a need to increase inclusive practices in the community. Although parents expressed strong religious and cultural ties to their mosque community, they voiced a lost sense of belonging and inclusion within the social and religious frameworks of the mosque. While some support structures exist in mosques, most of the support is not accessible, available, or individualized. Implications and future research are discussed.Shikarpurya, Sehrish, and Shailen M. Singh.

Violence, Disability, and the Politics of Healing: The Inaugural Nancy Eiesland Endowment LectureAncient and contemporary communities frequently portray the ideal, utopian society as a place without disability. Christian, Jewish, and secular eschatologies are often potent sites of disability erasure, forms of eugenic imagination that envision liberation through the denial of bodily and sensory difference. This lecture examines the complex relationship between violence, disability, and domination—and contests notions of healing that depoliticize disability or devalue the integrity of disabled lives. Bringing sacred texts into conversation with feminist disability studies and the lived experiences of disability justice activists, the lecture offers resources for religious voices seeking to reimagine disability, healing, and liberation.Belser, Julia Watts.

Newman, canonized in October 2019, is remembered as a prominent cleric of the Anglican Church who converted to Catholicism at the peak of his career. Many are acquainted with his Idea of a University and his theological insights. However, a detailed look at his life reveals another facet: a profoundly human man. Newman’s writings portray his liability to suffering and how he embraced it in his relationships with God, others and the institutions he served. Most of the projects he undertook were met with strong opposition; he did not recant from his ideas nor resolutions, but neither did he see them come to fruition. He was sustained by the awareness of God’s life within his, along with an unwavering commitment to truth. The appreciation of his life and works from a 150-year perspective, along with the recent public recognition of the holiness of his life, provides a robust platform for a deeper understanding of vulnerability and failure as the birthplace of perfection in the Christian life.Corona, Maria, and Jorge Lopez. Vulnerability and perfection: the failures of St. John Henry Newman.

Vulnerability and Solidarity: An Improbable ConnectionMost disability theologians consider vulnerability the cornerstone of personal transformation and the development of inclusive communities. For them, being aware of one’s vulnerability is synonymous with learning to show solidary with others, especially persons with disabilities. The article argues that while this can be the case, it is not the rule. Being vulnerable can also lead people to individualistic and selfish behavior. What makes the difference is the a priori ethical framework in which people interpret vulnerability and not vulnerability itself. To make this argument, the article draws on two Eastern Orthodox sources: Savatie Baștovoi and Maria Skobstova.Maican, Petre. Vulnerability and Solidarity: An Improbable Connection. Journal of Disability and Religion 25, no. 1 (2021): 55-67.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2020.1867027OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Articlejournal
Vulnerability, Perfection and Christian EducationThe reflections in this article answer two related questions. First, is perfection compatible with the “imperfection” of being vulnerable? Second, what role does vulnerability play in the Christian educational paradigm? To address these questions, the concept of vulnerability will be discussed. Then the concept of perfection will be discussed, from the perspective of Christian theology. Lastly, brush strokes of a Christian educational proposal will be offered, that incorporates vulnerability into the classical educational paradigm (paideia) of virtue education. If we consider perfection as communion, then vulnerability does not represent an obstacle to perfection but the condition for flourishing. Vulnerability as an expression of affectivity is not deprivation but perfection. The Christian educational model supposes a correction and improvement of the Greek educational model.Gonzales, Jorge Lopez. “Vulnerability, Perfection and Christian Education.” Journal of Disability and Religion 27, no. 3 (2023): 400-410.OtherChristianityJournal Article

Ways of Knowing God, Becoming Friends in Time; A Timeless Conversation Between Disability, Theology, Edith Stein and Professor John SwintonOver time disability theology has successfully argued that ‘people with disabilities have at best been minority voices in the development of Christian theology and at worst have been completely silenced within its conversation’. Decisions have been made about people rather than with them. Disability theologian John Swinton believes that at the heart of this problem we might notice a judgemental ‘hypercognitive’. Church which, paradoxically, works in opposition to Christian anthropology of the givenness of every person. Such a paradox serves only to downgrade the ‘Locus theologicus: present in human experience’ and the faith expressions of ‘people whose life experience includes disability’. A reading of modern philosopher Edith Stein’s insatiable interest in the human person and the importance of empathic practice, within the human exchange, can make some significant contributions to this problematic issue. Emulating a method of inductive writing, utilized by Stein herself, the article investigates what this contribution might be by entering into an imaginary conversation between her phenomenal, anthropological-theological thinking and that of a foundational voice in disability theology, Professor John Swinton.Footnote1Gangemi, Cristina.

We-Thou CommunionThe author proposes a communal model for the church, We-Thou Communion, to improve inclusivity, particularly for people with dementia. Written from the subjective viewpoint of a person living with dementia, it provides a unique insider’s perspective of the church as a place of welcome and support. We all share vulnerability before God, despite our varying cognitive, emotional, and physical capacities, yet this is seldom recognized in today’s society, which values autonomy and independence. We-Thou Communion can provide a way for the faith community to better welcome, support, and include all people despite their limitations. The focus of this article is on people with dementia.Bryden, Christine. We-Thou Communion.

Wesley’s Disabling FallJohn Wesley attempts to inhabit a liberating space that understands bodily limitation not as the result of an individual’s sins but as a fact of finitude. Concurrently, Wesley ultimately constructs the able-body as the norm. This construction leads Wesley on a problematic search of theology for the cause of bodily limitation, for which Wesley defaults to the Fall as the explanation. Thus, while bodily limitation is not a result of the individual’s sins, bodily limitation is the result of the first sin, and—vis-à-vis Foucault—people with bodily limitation are embodied signifiers of the fallen state of humanity.Hall, Kevin. Wesley’s Disabling Fall. Journal of Disability 15, no. 2 (2011): 197-209.https://doi.org/10.1080/15228967.2011.565683OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Articlejournal

What Comes Next? Practical Theology, Faithful Presence, and Prophetic WitnessThe paper is a reflection on some aspects of and developments within practical theology within the UK and Ireland. It highlights some of the possibilities for Practical Theology alongside of the potential dangers. It recognises the diversity of practical theology but argues that this is a strength for the discipline. The paper develops the image of practical theology as a diamond that is shaped and formed as it encounters various pressures. It argues that amidst the anxieties and concerns of Post-Brexit Britain and Ireland, Practical Theology needs to develop its identity as a prophetic witness called to the vocation of truth-telling and critical thinking, public theology, hospitality, and interdisciplinary friendship. BIAPT has the potential to be central to facilitating this prophetic process. It is a place where we are shaped and formed and where the diamond of Practical Theology finds cohesion and clarity.Swinton, J. “What comes next?

What Counts as a Community? Alternative Approaches to Inclusion and Developmental DisabilityThe thrust of the last half-century of Community Inclusion ideologies has been that people living with intellectual or developmental disability deserve opportunities for meaningful relationships in genuine communities. Disability Studies’ core shift has been to arguing for less pathologizing of disability and person-fixing and more systems and environment-changing. Good progress has been made on many fronts, but I argue that the field has been too vague and overly optimistic about specifying what ‘community’ is, and what it can and cannot do for people with developmental disability (PWDD). This ambiguity, paired with inadequate comparative, empirical studies that centre on the experiences and stated desires of people with developmental disabilities, has allowed a collection of stories or meta-narratives that advocate a single, narrow version of inclusion to prevail. While the vision in these stories has potential, it should not be so dominant since it does not account for other documented realities, the choices of some PWDD, and other research on communities, attitudes and inclusion. I document these meta-narratives against the backdrop of the history of PWDD in community, and offer three successful alternative versions of inclusion and community as identified by PWDD and their families.Cushing, P. “What counts as a community?

What Do We Owe Them: Veterans, Disability and the Privatization of American Civic LifeThis essay explores the privatization of American civic life and the consequences that privatization may pose for veterans of the United States Armed Forces, particularly those with disabilities, in terms of their reliance on the commitment that the American people have embraced regarding the provision of service- and disability-related benefits. The essay relies on historical, theoretical, and ethnographic perspectives. The conclusions are that, while the commitment made by the American people to veterans is a significant value, it must be considered in light of the distinctions between the ethical prescriptions and moral complexities considering policy issues in a climate of changing national priorities and the embedded nature of social and moral life.Messinger, Seth D.

What Does It Mean to Be a Creature? Reflections From the Early Christian TheologiansThis paper is not an exercise in patristic disability theology; rather it seeks to explore the theological anthropology of the Fathers, particularly Augustine and Gregory of Nyssa, in such a way as to shed light on how they understood human physicality and limitation, morbidity and mortality. The key is the doctrine of creation and the consequent recognition of humankind as a creature (1) constituted of soul and body, thus to be re-created at the resurrection rather than continuing to exist as an inherently immortal soul, and (2) made in the image of God, the image, or portrait, being manifest in a medium other than what is imaged. Personal testimony indicates the relevance of these points for the sacredness of bodies, even of those impaired or disabled.Young, FM. “What Does It Mean to Be a Creature?

What Is Research on Disability? Looking Backward to See ForwardDesignating disability as an object of research was both the condition for the emergence of the field of disability theology and a paradoxical source of its continuing aporias. One such problematic conceptual dead end is the division in the academic field of religion and disability that has arisen between traditional theological discourse and social scientific approaches to investigating disability. By highlighting the inherent instability of disability definitions on which much social scientific research rests, this paper invites renewed engagement with history and tradition as conversation partners for disability theology. By proposing a critical hermeneutic of tradition, it aims to widen and integrate the range of methodological approaches available to theological investigators of disability.Brock, B. “What is Research on Disability?

What Might It Mean to Live Well With Depression?It is well recognized that people live well with a number of illnesses. It is also well recognized that some people who have had depression in the past regard it as having given rise to positive present characteristics and experiences. However, because of its nature, depression poses a particularly difficult case for the idea of living well during the experience of depression itself. This article looks at characteristics and experiences that could be described as living well found in some autobiographies of depression, focusing on three themes: living faithfully, cultivating particular forms of compassion, and developing a heightened appreciation of beauty. The aim is not to describe what will or should happen in all experiences of depression, but to draw and pay attention to some hopeful experiences.Scrutton, Anastasia Philippa. What Might It Mean to Live Well With Depression?. Journal of Disability and Religion 20, no. 3 (2016): 178-189.https://doi.org/10.1080/23312521.2016.1152935IntellectualNone SpecifiedJournal Articlejournal
What No Longer Serves Us: Resisting Ableism and Anti-Judaism in New Testament Healing NarrativesWhen feminists preach on the Gospel healing narratives, they often encounter a double bind. Efforts to resist the oppression of people with disabilities by deemphasizing literal acts of healing tend to highlight Jesus’s structural critique against unjust institutions, often represented in the Gospels by the Jewish leaders. Yet that message of structural critique and social transformation can easily lead to anti-Jewish readings of the Gospel narratives. The authors model a method of interrogating a previously published sermon, alongside the practice of situating people with disabilities at “the speaking center” of Gospel narratives and exegesis. The article concludes with five homiletic tools that Christian feminist preachers might employ to better undermine both ableism and anti-Judaism.Belser, J. Wattz, and M. S. Morrison. “What No Longer Serves Us: Resisting Ableism and Anti-Judaism in New Testament Healing Narratives.” Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion 27, no. 2 (2011): 153-170.OtherInter-ReligiousJournal Article

What Should We Do for Everyone?The Last Passages project has been discussing end-of-life care for people with developmental disabilities for the past three years. The project has gathered best practices information and disseminated it through training, publications and websites. This response reflects many of the discussions, policy recommendations and philosophy of care developed by the Last Passages project. We believe we must insure that each person, regardless of their disability, has the opportunity to make end-of-life care choices, or have them made by family members and/or friends whom they trust, and that those choices be respected and supported by health care providers and the legal system.King, Angela.

What Should We Do for Jay?This article asks who, how, and on what grounds end-of-life decisions should bemade for a personwith a significant cognitive disability (the author’s son). It argues that the decisions must be based on principled grounds and that those grounds are both legal (the core concepts of disability policy and the appropriate case law). It describes how five different “models” of thinking about disability affect our decision-making, and how those models reflect as much about the decision-makers as about people with disabilities. It next poses the paradox that we may make the right decision for the wrong reason, or the wrong decision for the right reason. Finally, it argues that we should yield to the paradoxes, affirm but move beyond rights, and embrace trust and compassion as supplementary grounds for decision-making.Turnbull III, H. Rutherford.

What the Body Remembers: Theological Reflections on DementiaThe article explores the experience of spirituality and advanced dementia from the perspective of Christian theology. It examines the significance of Christian education and spiritual practices for understanding the significance of spirituality for people living with advanced dementia. The article explores the nature of memory and the importance of the body in remembering. When our recall memory fades, our bodily memory remains. The real question is whether people can recognise the importance of body memory and enable deeper understanding through such recognition. The article indicates ways in which bodily memory can be reclaimed as significant for dementia care and what that might look like.Swinton, J. “What the Body Remembers: Theological Reflections on Dementia.” Journal of Religion Spirituality & Aging 26, no. 2-3 (2014): 160-172.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

Who Is the God We Worship? Theologies of Disability; Challenges and New PossibilitiesThis research report is less a survey of the literature than a reflection on the emergence, aims and predominant themes to emerge from theological engagements with issues of disability. It advances a rather bold claim: the theology of disability is central to our understanding of what it means to know who God is and to know what it means to be a human being living fully under God. While such a statement will need justification, the emphasis within this essay is that the theology of disability is not a specialist enterprise for those who are “interested in such things.” Theological reflection on human disability leads us into the very heart of the theological enterprise in both its practical and theoretical aspects. As such it has particular significance for practical theology.Swinton, J. “Who is the God We Worship?

Whole Life Planning: A Guide for Organizers and FacilitatorsThis guide to whole life planning for people with disabilities describes whole life planning as a person-centered way of assisting people with disabilities to plan for their future. Whole life planning relies on the involvement of a small group of committed people who are willing to act as advocates and resources to the focal person. The manual includes examples from a statewide project in Massachusetts that assist young adults in making the transition from school to adult life. Chapters present the process divided into the following steps: (1) organizing the planning process, which involves deciding who will participate in the planning, when and where it will take place, and the role of the facilitator; (2) developing a personal profile, including the places, people, and activities in a person’s life; (3) building a vision, which involves highlighting major, recurring themes from the personal profile that point the way to a desirable future for the individual and developing vision statements; (4) developing action plans, which involve specific and immediate actions to implement goals; and (5) supporting networks and plans, which include follow-up meetings to evaluate progress. Appendices include a social network interview guide and sample worksheets.

Whose Story Am I? Redescribing Profound Intellectual Disability in the Kingdom of GodThis article reflects theologically on the spiritual lives of people with profound intellectual disabilities. It offers a fresh way of exploring the theological contribution that such life experiences have for an understanding of God, human being, and what it means to be a church. By meditating on the storied nature of human beings, this discussion offers a narrative mode of resistance that seeks to develop powerful counternarratives that stand as a challenge to the “normal” stories told about people with profound intellectual disabilities. The discussion examines key questions around what it means to know God even when, intellectually, one might not know anything about God.Swinton, John, Mowat, Harriet, and Susannah Baines.

Why Theology Needs DisabilityThis article explores the emerging field of theology and disability studies, beginning with an introduction to disability studies before moving on to consider what significance a disability perspective may have for theology. The author argues that in the same way disability studies critiques cultural ideals of autonomy and self-sufficiency it can likewise critique theology’s participation in these cultural ideals. Using the theological term “image of Christ” and a case study of the L’Arche communities, the author shows in particular how relationality, and not autonomy, more rightly defines what it means to be human.Tim Basselin, “Why Theology Needs Disability.” Theology Today 68 (2011): 47-57.https://doi.org/10.1177/0040573610394925OtherChristianityJournal Article

Widening the Door of Inclusion for Children With Autism Through Faith CommunitiesFaith communities can provide a doorway to full inclusion for families with children with disabilities. This essay will explore ways in which pastoral church leaders have the ability through their calling to widen the doorway and bridge families with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the Eucharist sacramental preparation process on the parish level. It also sheds light on the challenges and rewards our children, their families, and pastoral religious education leaders experience when we look to inclusion (opening our hearts and minds) as a means of building the Body of Christ and our own communities of faith.McGee, Diane.

With Jesus in My Boat I Can Smile at the Storm: An Analysis of Poems and Short Stories by Children Living With DisabilitiesPeople with disabilities quickly notice the discrimination around them, but like everyone else, they need to go on in the business of living. The short stories and poems in the collections Small Friends and Other Stories and Poems by King George VI School and Centre for Physically Disabled Children reflect the coping mechanisms the disabled employ and what motivates them. Some of the poems appeal directly to God as acts of faith, while some point to nature. A literary analysis of this collection will be able to speak to reason and faith in the struggle to cope with socioeconomic and environmental challenges.Muganiwa, Josephine.

Wondrously Wounded; Theology, Disability, and the Body of Christ. Studies in Religion, Theology, and DisabilityThe church has long proven itself a safe refuge despite the sad reality that it can be, and has been, unwelcoming toward those perceived as different. This is especially true of the contemporary church’s response to those with disabilities―a response often at surprising variance with its historic practices of care. The church once helped shape western morality to cherish these individuals with love and acceptance. It is thus ironic when today’s church neglects this care, or practices care with no awareness of the rich theological history out of which such moral sensibilities originally emerged. In Wondrously Wounded, Brian Brock reclaims the church’s historic theology of disability and extends it to demonstrate that people with disabilities, like all created in God’s image, are servants of God’s redemptive work.Wondrously Wounded; Theology, Disability, and the Body of Christ.

Wondrously Wounded: Theology, Disability, and the Body of ChristThe church welcomes all—or it should. The church has long proven itself a safe refuge despite the sad reality that it can be, and has been, unwelcoming toward those perceived as different. This is especially true of the contemporary church’s response to those with disabilities—a response often at surprising variance with its historic practices of care. The church once helped shape western morality to cherish these individuals with love and acceptance. It is thus ironic when today’s church neglects this care, or practices care with no awareness of the rich theological history out of which such moral sensibilities originally emerged. In Wondrously Wounded, Brian Brock reclaims the church’s historic theology of disability and extends it to demonstrate that people with disabilities, like all created in God’s image, are servants of God’s redemptive work. Brock divides his volume into five parts. Part one Chronicles how early Christian valued and cared for those with disabilities, putting into practice Jesus’ teachings about divine mercy in decidedly countercultural ways. Part two details how a rise in the fear of disability tempted the church away from these merciful practices as well as its confession of the infinite worth of all God has created. Part three traces how the fear of difference continues to negatively shape contemporary practices in today’s schools, churches, and politics. Part four lays the foundations of a vision of Christian life that is resistant to this pervasive fear. Finally, Part five shows how the recognition of all people as part of the body of Christ not only demonstrates the love of Christ but displaces the fear of disability in a manner that invites the church beyond even the most ambitious contemporary hopes for full inclusion. Brock interweaves his historical and theological analysis with the narrative of his own disabled son, Adam. These stories vividly bring into view the vulnerability, as well as the power, of the disabled in contemporary society. Ultimately, Brock argues, those with disabilities are conduits of spiritual gifts that the church desperately needs. Wondrously Wounded is an appeal to the church to find itself broken and remade by the presence of Christ on offer in the lives of those society has labeled “disabled.”Brock, Brian.

Work and Spirituality Among People With Asperger Syndrome: An Exploratory StudySpirituality and religiosity are important aspects of an individual’s psychology, but little is known about this dimension in people suffering from Asperger syndrome, and research on its relationship with work experience is rare. The main objective of this qualitative study is to report how 12 people with Asperger syndrome perceived their current or past jobs, focusing on the role of spirituality and religiosity, fear of death, and relationships with colleagues. Although a larger percentage of participants are of the opinion that death means absolute annihilation, only a few have faith in a transcendental dimension. However, the highest number of questions was recorded for concerns derived from relational difficulties with colleagues, while concerns regarding spirituality and religiosity were substantially negligible.Testoni, Ines, Pesci, Sofia, Vincenzo, Ciro De, Corso, Laura Dal, and Adriano Zamperini.

Working Interfaith: The History of the Religion and Disability Program of the National Organization on DisabilityThis article traces the history of the Religion and Disability Program of the National Organization on Disability from its inception in 1989 to the present. Over the years, its goal has been to identify and remove barriers to the full participation of worshipers with disability. Program activities include the publication of guides such as That All May Worship, Loving Justice, and From Barriers to Bridges, the cosponsoring of over 225 “That All May Worship” conferences across America, the Accessible Congregation Campaign and the Seminary Project. In all these and more, the program has sought to promote full inclusion of persons with disabilities by emphasizing the gifts and talents of children and adults with disabilities and the need for all religious communities (congregations, denominations, faith groups, and seminaries) to be accessible and welcoming.Herzog Jr., Albert A.

Wounded WarriorsSoldiers have been killed and wounded in wars throughout history. With new medical technologies, more soldiers survive their injuries and return home. Unfortunately, those injuries often include permanent disabilities either through loss of limb(s) or brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder, among other possibilities. Perhaps equally unfortunate is the way that soldiers with disabilities and persons with disabilities generally are hidden from view. This essay argues that this hiding is deliberate. The military hides soldiers with disabilities to protect its image; society hides people with disabilities as way to cope, through denial, with the fear and likelihood that able-bodied people will themselves, one day, number among those who are disabled.Martone, Marilyn.

Writing Disability History: Problems, Perspectives and SourcesThis paper discusses current trends in writing disability and identifies problems inherent in the prevalent focus on history of institutional treatment of impairment and disability, both in their validity as history and in their lack of contribution to the emancipatory dimension of disability studies. It is suggested that a broader view of disability history might be achieved by examination of other perspectives regarding disability than the institutional and identify two other perspectives, vernacular and experiential. The source material of these is often quite unlike that of institutional history, and identifies some potential risks in their interpretation. It suggests that investigators of history identify the perspectives present in the sources that they use as a means of reducing the risk of interpretive fallacies. The potential contribution of microhistory is also discussed.Bredberg, E. “Writing Disability History: Problems, Perspectives and Sources.” Disability and Society 14, no. 2 (1999): 189-201.OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article

You and Your Retarded ChildWith the numerous books currently being written and published on mental retardation, it is amazing how few are written directly for the parents who have a retarded child. The re-issue of You and Your Retarded Child is certainly timely and necessary. Unfortunately this book does not really begin to fill the gap or meet the current needs. In a sense it is an oversimplified “how to do it” dialogue. Nowhere does one feel empathy or compassion for the parents. Instead it is often sharp and unfeeling.Roberts, B., and N. Roberts.

You Are Not Alone. For Parents When They Learn That Their Child Has a DisabilityWhen parents learn about any difficulty or problem in their child’s development, this information comes as a tremendous blow. The day my child was diagnosed as having a disability, I was devastated—and so confused that I recall little else about those first days other than the heartbreak. Another parent described this event as a “black sack” being pulled down over her head, blocking her ability to hear, see, and think in normal ways. Another parent described the trauma as “having a knife stuck” in her heart. Perhaps these descriptions seem a bit dramatic, yet it has been my experience that they may not sufficiently describe the many emotions that flood parents’ minds and hearts when they receive any bad news about their child.“You Are Not Alone.

You Do Him No Service. An Exploration of Pagan AlmsgivingSuch organised material aid and services as the elite were prepared to extend to their social and economic inferiors were not directed at the poorest of Graeco-Roman society in the early imperial period. The marginal – women, slaves, foreigners, and to an extent children – were rarely included in munificentiae or euergesiae, and while the marginal are not co-extensive with the poorest, there is considerable intersection between the two groups, not least for this reason. In the Greek cities, euergetism occasionally was extended to slaves and foreign migrants, but of course when this did happen, they received by far the lowest proportions. The destitute were never en masse targets of aid. As Hendrik Bolkestein made clear long ago, Christian charity did not develop out of pagan munificence. The two were concerned with fundamentally different sectors of ancient society. This does not mean that no one ever gave to beggars before Christian charity swept the empire. On the contrary, it merely indicates that beneficentia was not aimed at beggars. To investigate almsgiving in the early empire, we need to get away from the discourse of euergetism and beneficentia.Parkin, A. “You do him no Service.

You Have Not Forgotten Us: Towards a Disability-Accessible Church and SocietyA vision is unfolded of the integration of people with dementia and their relatives. The argument is for the respect of the particular and thereby overcomes concepts of integration that either mean total inclusion or total separation. The article explores both the challenge and chance for the church that answer Jesus’ call for inclusion. Of particular importance is the sacramental dimension of faith; as in the Christian tradition, sacraments serve as symbolic bridges between the spiritual and the material that is conceivable by people with dementia.Kunz, Ralph.

Youth Ministry, Religious Rducation, and Adolescents With Disabilities: Insights From Parents and GuardiansYouth ministry may not openly oppose the inclusion of teenagers with disabilities, but the actions—or lack of action—of many programs communicates a low commitment to this goal. As an initial step toward understanding and improving the experiences of youth with disabilities in the church, 17 parents and guardians of youth with disabilities were interviewed. These individuals expressed a desire for their children to be included within youth ministry programs and shared what their child might bring to a youth group.Jacober, A. E. (2010).

Disability Culture or Disability Consciousness?“Disability culture” has become a taken-for-granted phenomenon in the disability community. Here I argue that this usage of the concept of culture does not fit anthropological definitions. Rather, I suggest that the concept of collective consciousness better describes what is occurring in the disability community than does the term disability culture. While a culture functions to maintain the social order, a collective consciousness impels the actions which comprise social movements. Disability consciousness impels the social movement actions which are occurring within the disability community at this time. The distinction has implications for the process of policymaking, as well as for its content. Disability culture has become a frame around which disability consciousness can be built, and it will be judged by the success of the social movement it has engendered.Barnartt, Shanon N. “Disability Culture or Disability Consciousness?” Hammill Institute on Disability 7, no. 2 (1996): 1-19.https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10.1177/104420739600700201Journal Article
Spirituality in the Lives of People with Disability and Chronic Illness: A Creative Paradigm of Wholeness and ReconstructionTo date, research within the domain of critical life events, coping, and adaptation has been mostly fragmented, outcome-oriented, and neglectful of individual differences. The aim of this research was to add a holistic understanding of the domain by using a creative hermeneutic and phenomenological perspective to understand how individuals with disability and chronic illness survive and cope successfully with their lives in spite of overwhelming odds. The lived experience of 35 informants and 14 autobiographers, who represented a wide range of people with disability and chronic illness, was used as the basis for understanding the phenomenological world of chronic conditions. Through in-depth interviews and autobiographical analysis the results were content analysed and organized into paradigm cases, exemplars and themes. Five factors that facilitated coping and adaptation were identified. The combined elements of spiritual transformation, hope, personal control, positive social supports, and meaningful engagement in life, enabled individuals to empower themselves and come to terms with their respective conditions. An overall paradigm and model of wholeness and reconstitution was also developed, which identified the processes by which people reconciled their outer forms of disability, decay or suffering and discovered an embodiment of their own inner resources and strengths. These experiences led many people to realize their own inherent sense of wholeness and unity, and to experience and integrate a deeper meaning, sense of self, and spirituality within their lives.Do Rozario, L. “Spirituality in the Lives of People with Disability and Chronic Illness: A Creative Paradigm of Wholeness and Reconstruction.” National Library of Medicine 19, no. 10 (1997): 427-434.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9368094/OtherNone SpecifiedJournal Article
Persons with Disabilities in the Christian Church: A Scoping Review on the Impact of Expressions of Compassion and Justice on their Inclusion and ParticipationDespite the recognition of societal inclusion as a human right, persons with disabilities face many barriers preventing their participation in mainstream Christian denominations. A scoping review was conducted to map the relevant literature to explore the Christian Church’s expressions of compassion and/or justice toward persons with disabilities, and how this impacts their inclusion and participation. The findings confirm the paucity of literature addressing this phenomenon, as well as the under-representation of persons with disabilities in research concerning their own interests. Four nested themes reflect the harmful effects of misplaced pity and insufficient justice toward persons with disabilities, revealing evidence of oppression, expressed through stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination – all perceived to hinder their meaningful participation in the body of Christ. Knowledge gaps concerning the lived experiences of persons with disabilities in this setting were identified and recommended for future research.McMahon-Panther, Gail. “Persons with Disabilities in the Christian Church: A Scoping Review on the Impact of Expressions of Compassion and Justice on their Inclusion and Participation.” Journal of Disability and Religion (2024): 1-29.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23312521.2024.2331461#:~:text=A%20Biblical%20depiction%20of%20disability,Christ%20(Brock%2C%202011).ChristianityJournal Article
A Critical Approach to Integrating Christian Disability Theology in Clinical RehabilitationThe integration of disability studies into clinical rehabilitation is a minimally explored area. Based on current literature, the field of disability studies alone provides insufficient resources for the formation of renewed clinical practices. The use of theological perspectives on disability facilitates creation of clinical practices within a disability studies framework. Theological voices enhance participation and flourishing for all persons involved in rehabilitation. Drawing primarily from Nancy Eiesland’s The Disabled God, the author argues that seriously engaging theology creates space to counter medicalized and violent practices of rehabilitation and allows unity, embodied solidarity, and resymbolization to flourish within the clinic.Barton, Sarah Jean. “A Critical Approach to Integrating Christian Disability Theology in Clinical Rehabilitation.” Journal of Disability & Religion 21, no. 1 (2017): 5-13.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/23312521.2016.1269255?needAccess=trueChristianityJournal Article
Islam and the Cultural Conceptualisation of DisabilityThis paper aims to provide an analytical perspective of Islamic philosophy on disability by examining some texts from the Qur’an and Sunnah, as well as differentiating between cultural practice and real Islamic perspectives. Despite the fact that Muslims share the same beliefs and principles, people’s attitudes and understanding regarding these concepts, and their reactions to individuals with a disability, may vary depending on the intensity of a person’s faith, as well as their socio-economic status, level of education, awareness and, more importantly, their cultural context. Indeed, special emphasis will be given to cultural differences and their influence on Muslims’ understanding and practice of Islamic philosophy within this context, where cultural perspectives play a crucial role in framing attitudes towards disadvantaged people.Al-Aoufi, Hiam, Nawaf Al-Zyoud, and Norbayah Shahminan. 2012. “Islam and the Cultural Conceptualisation of Disability.” International Journal of Adolescence and Youth 17 (4): 205–19. https://doi.org/10.1080/02673843.2011.649565OtherIslamJournal Article
The Protection and Empowerment of People with Disabilities in Islamic LawThe purpose of this study is to seek a firsthand understanding of the Islamic position and attitude towards disability by examining the primary sources of Islamic teachingthe Qur’an and the life example of the Prophet Muhammad as preserved in his sayings and teachings (Hadith). We search the Qur’an for references to such terms as blind, mute, deaf, lame, weak, orphan, destitute/needy, and wayfarer. We attempt to understand the intent of these terms by examining the roots of the Arabic words and investigating their possible synonyms; cross-referencing the Qur’anic verses containing the same terms; and confirming the meaning with the Hadith. We conclude that the concept of disability, in the conventional sense, is not found in the Qur’an. Rather, the Qur’an concentrates on the notion of disadvantage that is created by society and imposed on those individuals who might not possess the social, economic, or physical attributes that people happen to value at a certain time and place. The Qur’an places the responsibility of rectifying this inequity on the shoulder of society by its constant exhortation to Muslims to recognize the plight of the disadvantaged and to improve their condition and status.Bazna, Maysaa S., and Tarek A.

Understanding Disability in Islam: An Overview of the Current Research and EvidenceReligion is central to how many people make sense of the world and their place in it. Islam is considered one of the world’s fastest-growing religions (Lipka Hackett , 2017). Muslims believe that Islam cannot be separated from one’s daily living practices. Muslims also believe that understanding Islamic concepts and theology will make them better people. Thus, for Muslims investigating the Islamic perspective on disability is important. This article explores Islamic thinking on people with disabilities based on the Qur’an, Hadith and Islamic history. The researcher conducted an extensive review and searched the Qur’an for references or terms related to disability cross-referenced Qur’anic verses containing the same terms and then confirmed these meanings with the Hadith. The Qur’an and Hadith place responsibility for solving the issues of people with disabilities on the shoulders of society through their constant encouragement to Muslims to recognize the dilemmas that disabled people face and to improve their condition and status. In conclusion, even though Muslims have shared beliefs and principles their attitudes towards the disabled can differ based on their culture and political influencesSaleem Binmahfooz, Sarah. 2024. “Understanding Disability in Islam: An Overview of the Current Research and Evidence.” مجلة العلوم المتقدمة للصحة النفسية والتربية الخاصة 3 (2): 380–403. https://doi.org/10.21608/jasps.2024.281483.1076https://doi.org/10.21608/jasps.2024.281483.1076OtherIslamJournal Article
