This episode of WGBD: When God is Black & Disabled reflects on developing a hermeneutic of disability by framing COVID-19 public response with reasonable accommodations through the story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel. What had been essential for disabled persons was coopted by ableds affected by quarantine--the familiar exile of disabled persons.

This reflection is excerpted from Episode 17: Identity, Belonging, and Disability on the Evolving Faith podcast. Along with two other persons of faith with disabilities, we discuss our realities, identities, and challenges in moving through society. Please head over to their podcast to listen:

Ep. 17 Identity, Belonging, and Disability

Hosted by Sarah Bessey and Jeff Chu
Featuring Stephanie Tait, Derrick Dawson, and Raedorah Stewart
In a beautiful, wise experience, we are thrilled to welcome Stephanie Tait, Derrick Dawson, and Raedorah Stewart as they each present a talk about identity, belonging, and an evolving faith through the lens of disability. Then our guests join Sarah and Jeff in a life-giving conversation on identity, hope, beauty, belonging, covenant, and perceiving the new thing God is doing. (This episode runs a bit longer than usual because it is a full Evolving Faith conference session.) Now available and streaming wherever you listen to your podcasts.
