Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

''Roy McCloughry offers us the fruits of years of prayerful reflection on what it means to be disabled in (and sometimes by) the church. As a result, he prompts us to consider what it really means to be the church: challenging us all - disabled and 'abled' - to be healed and saved together.'' --Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury

Reseña del editor:

Some people have called epilepsy the disability towards which Christianity has been most antagonistic, partly because of the Church's tendency to attribute demon possession to the condition. Drawing on the very latest thinking in this area, Roy McCloughry, who is committed to supporting the increasing participation of people with disabilities in Christian communities and in society at large, reveals how people's lives are still being blighted by such attitudes, though there is much to celebrate too. This engaging book aims to encourage people to become involved with people with disabilities, as friendship is one of keys to breaking down the barriers which lead to stereotypes and fear.
