This week Anthony, Brynn and the crew are all taking much needed breaks but your in good hands with Tim And Cheryl Cumings Tim And Cheryl Cumings will moderate a discussion about religion and disability with an expert panel: Michael Garrett, Mark ricart, Lynne Koral, and doug hansard. based on the book My body is not a prayer request: disability justice in the church, available from nls under the book number DB 110776 reading time: 6 hours, 50 minutes Author: Amy Kenny Annotation: "Much of the church has forgotten that we worship a disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection, says Amy Kenny. It is time for the church to start treating disabled people as full members of the body of Christ who have much more to offer than a miraculous cure narrative and to learn from their embodied experiences. Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members of the body of Christ. Offering a unique blend of personal storytelling, fresh and compelling writing, biblical exegesis, and practical application, this book invites listeners to participate in disability justice and create a more inclusive community in church and parachurch spaces. Engaging content such as reflection questions and top-ten lists are included." -- listen live to the show Sundays at 1pm ET on your devices by asking them to play ACB Media and choose stream 1!
