| Résumé: | People with disabilities have historically been seen as unfit to become leaders of religious communities. Therefore, they were also not accepted as students by seminaries or theological schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree to which seminaries today accept and accommodate qualified students who have a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This study was limited to an examination of 14 theological schools that are directly or historically related to the United Church of Christ (UCC). It discusses this issue from the parallel historical perspective of the UCC's acceptance and accommodation of women in the ministry. |
