#preaching!

I’m looking for some theology of disability written by actually disabled people as I work on this sermon -- I want to talk about the dangers of reading this passage and many other passages featuring Jesus healing a blind/deaf/disabled person as him “fixing” something intrinsically broken in them. To me, Jesus’s healings of disabled individuals are more about helping them back into a community that unfortunately ostracizes those with disabilities as well as about them coming to know and form a relationship with Jesus -- but it’s hard to find theology on that or a lot of explicit biblical basis.
