Abstract | This resource packet includes information relating to the inclusion of people with disabilities in the Christian church. The first article, "Changing Attitudes, Creating Awareness," highlights several critical areas where churches can begin to understand the barriers of exclusion to people with disabilities. The following article, "Victim Theology," discusses biblical and theological issues that blame and victimize persons with disabilities. A syllabus is included of a two-credit course that introduces students to ministry with people with physical and mental disabilities. The syllabus and an extensive annotated bibliography serve to provide a reference guide for resources that are available to churches. The next section of the packet includes handouts used for courses, retreats, and lectures. Information addresses: (1) church accessibility; (2) counseling persons with disabilities or their families; (3) implications of disability on family life; (4) the grief cycle; (5) identifying spiritual needs; (6) forgiveness; (7) strategies for pastoral care of persons with disabilities or their families; and (8) attitudes of clergy with disabilities. Reprints are included of "Healing of Bodies and Victimization of Persons: Issues of Faith-Healing for Persons with Disabilities" and "A Theology of Anger When Living with Disability."
