Celebrating “A Healing Homiletic Preaching and Disability”
The Association of Ministers with Disabilities and Methodist Federation for Social Action host a conversation with Kathy Black, Chair of Homiletics and Liturgics at Claremont School of Theology and Disability Theologian, on the 25th Anniversary of A Healing Homiletic: Preaching and Disability. This important work of disability theology is one of the only books that exist on preaching the healing narratives from a disability perspective. Watch Black discuss her thoughts on this book 25 years after its release and answers questions about her thoughts on where disability theology is today.
