Diversity & Down The Podcast Episode 26 - Rachel Richards


Listen Later

Today’s Episode is the incredible Rachel Richards. She started @_heychurch as a call to action for the evangelical church to repent of its ableism. The page discusses deconstructing toxic and harmful theology that has harmed disabled people for centuries. It also touches on the abmesut parent trope that too often accepted and excused because 'having a disabled child is hard'. Rachel's hope is to create a community where the culture of disability within the Christian church will be a place of acceptance and not fear, and that parents will come to see their disabled children as fully deserving and capable of having a fulfilling life.
