To truly work toward reconciliation, churches must both consider the theological implications of disability and also become places where people with disabilities \u003ci\u003elead\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisabling Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e presents a practical theology of disability for thoughtful church leaders and congregants. Written by practitioners and a scholar-pastor who are engaged in ministry together, this book encompasses cutting-edge theological ethics as well as stories of how such commitments are embodied in a real church community. The authors equip readers to explore key themes such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhat it means to be human\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to understand suffering and healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow churches can be welcoming and accessible communities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to face common challenges and issues in resisting ableism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisabling Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e moves beyond paternalistic views of disability that seek to extract \"inspiration\" from another's story without engaging in the difficult work of just and dignifying relationships. When we foster genuinely inclusive leadership teams, the authors contend, our churches will be less likely to treat anyone as a \"project\" and will better reflect God's love as the body of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew T.
