Cripping Youth Ministry: An intersectional vision for working with disabled youth

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

In dialogue with insights from a forthcoming volume - Cripping Youth Ministry: An Intersectional Vision of Working with Disabled Youth (Eerdmans) - this virtual panel explores theological, theoretical, and practical contours of the human experience of disability in the context of youth ministry. Disabled and non-disabled theologians and practitioners will explore the specific themes of lament, protest, praise, and prophecy as they relate to a disability studies informed approach to the lives of youth and adolescents within communities of faith. The panel imagines the religious, pragmatic, and theoretical potentials for a disabled future of youth ministry.
