Download or read book Disability Ethics and Preferential Justice written by Mary Jo Iozzio and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Disability is a global reality which we do not acknowledge. As a result, too few people without immediate experience of persons with disability remain unconcerned with this largest and most diverse minority of people across the globe (at least 15 percent of the world's population). Moreover, the likelihood of able-bodied/able-minded persons joining this minority increases over the lifespan, with for example, Alzheimer's, arthritis, depression, diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, and other conditions being very common around the world. No geographic location is immune from this prevalence, though poverty increases and exacerbates vulnerability to being born with or acquiring a disability in one's lifetime. Disability Ethics and Preferential Justice is one response to a dearth of theo-ethical reflection on disability, arguing that justice requires a preferential safeguard for persons and communities of people with disability. The book makes this argument by presenting a Trinitarian theological anthropology on the imago Dei and applying the liberation lens of Catholic Social Teaching with a preferential justice for those who are poor and otherwise marginalized, oppressed, or silenced on account of their disability"--

Download or read book Radical Welcome written by Stephanie Spellers and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the fifteenth anniversary of its publication, this revised edition features a new introduction from the author on the state of the church and its “radical welcome” today, along with new reflections on how it continues to reshape the church. This book is at once a theological, inspirational, and practical guide for congregations that want to move beyond diversity and inclusion to present a vision for the church of the future: one where the gifts, voices, and power of marginalized groups bring new life to the mainline church. Based on two years of work and over 200 interviews with people in congregations all around the United States—in urban, suburban, and rural settings—it asks the question: How do we face our fears and welcome transformation in order to become God’s radically welcoming people? Each chapter introduces a particular congregation and the challenges it faced, and lays out the theological underpinnings of tackling fears head-on to embrace change as a welcome part of community life. This new edition features essays from Michael B. Curry, Mark Bozzuti-Jones, Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, and Mark Richardson.
