Abstract The United States is home to more than 60 million Americans with disabilities and more than 300,000 churches. Yet the relationships among these individuals and congregations is alternately described as encouraging or concerning—sometimes stellar, other times deeply disappointing. Although anecdotes have characterized much of these depictions, a growing body of research also focuses on this area. This research review addresses the current landscape of congregational participation and practices related to individuals with disabilities and their families. What is known about the participation of individuals with disabilities in relation to faith community life? What is known about the practices of local congregations in relation to individuals with disabilities? This paper highlights key findings, identifies gaps in the current literature, and concludes with recommendations for future research.

ABSTRACT While the Tim Tebow Foundation is celebrated by community members for the outreach to the disability community, others have questioned both the intent and the impact. Specifically, some critics have argued that a Night to Shine is “an embodiment of our highly celebrated, rarely challenged paternalistic relationship between those with disabilities and those without. In the disability community, this type of message… is known as Inspiration Porn”. This investigation examines the concept of “Inspiration Porn” as developed by Stella Young and used by disability rights advocates to determine whether it is an apt descriptor. Upon examination of Night to Shine considering the concept of Inspiration Porn this examination will seek to apply Tumeinski and McNair “What would be better?” framework in order to evaluate both “Night to Shine” and similarly situated events intending to determine what local faith-communities could do better in their efforts to serve, support, and minister to adults labeled with disabilities.

Abstract The standard theological treatments of theodicy deal in privation, measuring out the fallen creature’s diminution from an ideal. The same concept belongs to an older tradition of aesthetics, which measures beauty according to ideals of formal proportion, with ugliness lying at a distance from the ideal. The grammar of “wonder” Brian Brock adopts in his theology of disability troubles both theodicies of diminution and the aesthetics of declension. The author proposes that such accounts of beauty and its declensions have regularly been problematized by the cross of Jesus Christ, requiring theology to revise its concepts. Beauty measured by form opens up questions of irregularity and deformity. The author argues that the form proper to beauty lies not within the constituent part of any particular being, but rather within the relation of the creature to God.

Abstract This article reports a study of the effect of online prayer lessons in building resilience and sense of personal control among adults with sensory disabilities over a six-year period. Data from intervention and control group participants in select Asian and African cities were collected at baseline (T1) (N1=244) and at three-year intervals T2 (N2=217) and T3 (N3=194). Results indicated that the online prayer lessons were effective (Cohen’s d range = 0.34–1.19, p≤.01) thereby indicating that prayer endowed adults with sensory disabilities a distant perspective on their personal problems and helped make progress on it emotionally. Men, middle class, Hindus, single (never married, widowed, divorced), and living with kin/nuclear families responded better to the online prayer lessons. The ordinary least squares regression and Tobit models indicated that maximum variation in outcomes was attributed to intervention adherence: attending of the online lessons and self-recitation/practice. The longitudinal structural equation model indicated a sustained effect of the said predictors as well as a mutual covariance between resilience and personal control outcomes over a period of time. With certain refinements for women, upper class participants, Christians, currently married, and living with extended family or alone, online prayer lessons are an effective resilience-building intervention for adults with sensory disabilities.

Abstract The risen Christ retained in his body the “marks of the nails”, suggesting that we might in our post-resurrection bodies retain what Amos Yong calls the “marks of impairment”. I argue that the “marks of the nails” in John 20:25 are best interpreted as persisting wounds rather than healed scars, and that this has profound implications for shaping what we can expect of eschatological life. The eschatological “marks of impairment” may be more than merely a trace or memory of weakness or disability, but rather the substantial embodiment of weakness and disability.
