The Blessed Declaration: I reject the world’s version of #blessed. I’m choosing something deeper — the kind of blessing that’s found in grace, not perfection.

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.

Only reflection, tension, and unresolved questions for listeners interested in philosophy, culture, and personal responsibility. By Marcus T. Loxley Available as ebook on ...
