Summary: | More often than not, the church and its practices have excluded people with disabilities. The author calls the church to recognize the disabled God in its midst—a God who, through Christ, enables all bodies to participate in the imago Dei. Such recognition should shape the church's bodily practice of the Eucharist. Through the Eucharist, the church and its members encounter the disabled God, acknowledge their own embodiment, and demonstrate justice and reconciliation. |
