What is your experience with disability or persons affected by disability? How does your church/faith community care for persons with disability or does your church care for you as a disabled person?

Interview Project

interview 3 persons regarding disability:
1 faith community leader (pastor, priest, rabbi, etc.);
1 person affected by disability (physical, mental, emotional);
1 persons providing care to a person affected by disability (parent, caregiver, etc.).
The purpose of this interview project is for the student to discover underlying “theologies” people carry regarding the nature of disability and God’s role and their own understanding of God’s people in relation to disability.

Although the student may come up with his or her own series of questions, some questions to consider are:

What is your experience with disability or persons affected by disability?

How does your church/faith community care for persons with disability or does your church care for you as a disabled person?

How does your faith system or faith community address how people should respond to disability and suffering?

What do you see as God’s role in relationship to this reality of disability?

What is the state of disability advancement, collaboration, and advocacy from where you sit?

Is the Church more a part of the problem or the solution and why?
