There is no question. As 1 Corinthians 12 puts it, all the members of the body of Christ are necessary for its healthy functioning, and that includes people who have disabilities. We’re not talking about ministry TO but ministry WITH people with disabilities as disciples of Jesus together. Here is an article excerpted from a new book entitled Amazing Gifts: Stories of Faith, Disability, and Inclusion by Mark Pinsky, published by the Alban Institute. I’ve already read one story from the book in Alban’s journal and look forward to reading the whole book.
