"Theology, Ministry, & Disability"

This seminar focuses on increasing cultural awareness of disability and invites Christian leaders to reconsider its theological issues. Participants will explore the biblical, theological, and ministry-related challenges via two major questions: What ought we to think about disability today, and how might the church engage disability in ways that are more welcoming to and inclusive of all people, especially those with disabilities?
