Remaking the world One Word, One Game & One Relationship At A Time

Filed under: Advocacy, Best Practices, Media, Community Organizations — Mark @ 11:22 p

This year’s Atlanta Magazine’s High School Essay Contest asked students to respond to the question: What is the most pressing civil/human rights issue of your generation? Harrison Saylor, a junior at Flowery Branch High School answered the question with his essay titled: People First: Rethinking how we think of people with disabilities.

I am grateful for Harrison’s contribution and his involvement in the lives of people with disabilities at his high school. I am thankful for the people at Atlanta Magazine for shining a light on this important issue.

G-d Uses A Wheelchair From Interfaith Voices

Filed under: In Memoriam, Christianity and Disability, Theological Ideas — Mark @ 9:17 p

I am late to the party on this and for that I apologize, but yesterday I came across an episode of the Interfaith Voices Podcast. The podcast includes a number of interesting stories about Pesach (Passover).

The podcast also contains an interesting interview with Dr. Deborah Creamer. Creamer is the author of Disability and Christian Theology:Embodied Limits, Constructive Possibilities. Dr. Creamer discusses the genesis of Dr. Eiesland’s image of the Disabled G-d and the impact the image has had on theology. (Creamer’s interview begins at 36:57.)

I would love to know what you think?
