Icons of Divine Mystery: Disability, the Imago Dei, and the Church’s Call to Slow Love
What does it mean to love our neighbor as ourselves when that neighbor’s body or mind challenges our assumptions about what is “normal” or “complete”? July is Disability Pride Month and it invites us to consider this question. In response, I’d invite us to see disability not as a problem to be solved, but as a theological gift that helps the Church glimpse the mystery of God. Read the complete article here, in the first post on our new blog. About the author: Brett MacDonald, our Diocesan Intern for the summer, has recently joined us! Brett graduated from Duke Divinity School in May and is currently in the ordination process in the Diocese of North Carolina. |
