MY BODY IS NOT A PRAYER REQUEST Disability Justice in the Church Amy Kenny

A disabled Christian reflects on her myriad experiences inside the church to expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian communities to engage disability justice.

“Through a series of fascinating, moving, and sometimes disturbing narratives, Kenny takes us into the heart of the experience of disability and the practical and theological challenges that people face on a daily basis. The book opens up fresh perspectives that can help all of us understand disability theologically and appreciate our human- ness more fully.” —JOHN SWINTON, University of Aberdeen
