In this conversation, Mitchell Eithun and I pick away at the challenging ways that Christian worship has represented people with disabilities, and how we might want to consider doing so in the future. If you’d like to follow Mitchell online, his Facebook page is likely the best spot to do so.

If you, like me, did not know what a carillon was, be sure to check it out! 

If you, like me, had never heard the term “presbycostal” before, maybe Eugene Peterson says it best:

“Pentecostalism and Presbyterianism were for me both irreplaceable gifts, polarities that made a continuum, not opposites in tension.”  (The Pastor: A Memoir, p. 217)

Here are a handful of books Mitchell recommends, if you’d like to dive in further:

My Body Is Not A Prayer Request by Amy Kenny

The Disabled God by Nancy L. Eiesland

A Healing Homiletic by Kathy Black
