An estimated one in 5 households has a child with a disability. Many of these families miss out on church due to a lack of physical or social accommodations. And while ministry leaders want to help, they often don't know how to with limited space, budget, and trained volunteers. Churches must understand the challenges that disability families face so they can remove barriers to biblical fellowship.

Most people encounter disability at some point in their lives, either in their own bodies or through a friend or loved one. Faith leaders, sacred texts, and members of religious communities frequently offer religious teachings and metaphors as explanation for the presence of disability, but rarely do we hear the voices of people living with disabilities reflecting on their experiences of God, faith, or religious life.

From birth to death, we care and are cared for by others. Yet we rarely acknowledge care except when it fails. In Love, Money, Duty, Rachel Adams examines the stories we tell about care, those who do the work, and those who depend on it. These narratives, she argues, help us better understand our complicated feelings about care and the obligations that come with it.

Sentirsi disintegrati è una sensazione che chi lavora con la disabilità conosce bene: la favola dell'inclusione, del non lasciare indietro nessuno, sembra ancora ben lontana dal diventare realtà. A volte bisogna avere il coraggio di "lasciare": cambiare lavoro, direzione, idea. Per far questo è necessario "morire": abbandonare i nostri attaccamenti, i ruoli che ci gratificano, le proiezioni sugli altri, le conferme. Lasciare e andare avanti, aprendosi al nuovo: questo itinerario è difficile perché è perdere se stessi, sentirsi lacerati.
