Description
Résumé:Theological education has yet to grapple with the complexities of autistic lives and the wider neurodiversity movement. This article discusses the ways in which theological education is complicit in the epistemic oppression of autistic students and lecturers. It proposes that autistic theology can be called “peculiar” and that so also can theological education be made peculiar for autistic theology students. A pedagogy for autistic theological education is proposed via engagement with Paulo Freire, black and feminist theologies. Such a theology, in a confessional Christian context is described as post-Pentecostal conscientization and seeks a community of students and scholars that treat the classroom as holy ground for autistic lives.
