Your concern on this issue is of paramount importance. I remember reading a jarring headline back in 1982: a Down syndrome infant with mild complications was starved to death in a Midwest hospital. I was shocked to read that the Supreme Court of Indiana upheld the parents’ right to euthanize their child. I thought, Then the life of every disabled person is in jeopardy! I shouldn’t have been surprised – our nation was experiencing the… <a href="http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12415"><img src="http://conversation.lausanne.org/./uploads/resources/images/12415/14680_150_-1.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" alt="photo" title="The Sanctity of Life Challenged" border="0"/></a> Joni Eareckson Tada Disability Ministry Interview with Hillary Marides http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12414 resources/detail/12414 Tue, 22 May 2012 03:22:26 -0700 <a href="http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12414"><img src="http://conversation.lausanne.org/./uploads/resources/images/12414/14673_150_-1.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" alt="photo" title="Interview with Hillary Marides" border="0"/></a> Joni interviews her friend Hillary with cerebral palsy about her involvement in disability ministry.

From Genesis to Revelation, salvation history displays the plans of God’s heart, his mission. The story includes disabilities, because disabilities play pivotal roles in God’s mission to bring people to himself. Familiarly, his glory and our worship are at the very center. Although entire books have been written on small details of disability in Scripture, the entire story from creation to eternity needs to be told. It is, at heart, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and a basis for praise. In our study, we explore the Bible’s perspective on disability as it develops in salvation history.… <a href="http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12412"><img

People with disabilities are shown as central to the teaching on the kingdom of God in Luke 14:1-24. However, to understand the message regarding those with disabilities, we must also recognize the eschatological nature in the broader section of Luke 13 and 14. Luke explores the reversals and paradoxical inversions associated with the “now and to come” nature of the kingdom of God. Religion that Does Not Reflect the Kingdom—Luke 14:1-6 Jesus was invited to eat on the Sabbath with a prominent Pharisee and other guests. This is significant because those invited were upper-class, religious leaders, and “experts in the… <a href="http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12373"><img src="http://conversation.lausanne.org/./uploads/resources/images/12373/14645_150_-1.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" alt="photo" title="The Kingdom of God and Disability" border="0"/></a> Rev Steve Bundy Disability Ministry God's Healing Presence in My Life http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12372 resources/detail/12372 Fri, 11 May 2012 11:08:14 -0700 <a href="http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12372"><img src="http://conversation.lausanne.org/./uploads/resources/images/12372/14637_150_-1.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" alt="photo" title="God’s Healing Presence in My Life" border="0"/></a> Joni Eareckson Tada discusses the emotional and spiritual struggles she experienced following the accident that paralyzed her, and explains how she found peace by learning to accept her condition and trust in God.

At the same time, there are spiritual movements manifesting "signs and wonders," and "gifts of healing".

Oppenhuizen Pastors and their congregations often do not know how to “theologically” view disabled people. A solid theological framework is needed to understand disabilities and God’s sovereignty over suffering. Christian leaders are often confused as to the extent of God’s sovereign control over accidents and illnesses. The Bible makes sweeping statements about God’s sovereignty over disabilities. For example, Exodus 4:11 states, "Who gave man… <a href="http://conversation.lausanne.org/resources/detail/12357"><img src="http://conversation.lausanne.org/./uploads/resources/images/12357/14628_150_-1.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" alt="photo" title="How Does God View People With Disabilities?" border="0"/></a> Joni Eareckson Tada and Jack S.
