Zusammenfassung:Jesus of Nazareth healed persons in mind, body, spirit, and relationships. His ministry welcomed all persons without judgment or reservation. Sadly, the Gospel healing stories have often been interpreted in ways that judge, demean, and exclude persons with disabilities. Today, the seminary is challenged to reclaim Jesus' inclusive healing ministry through innovative theological and biblical reflection and imaginative models of spiritual formation.
