PYNE MEMORIAL LECTURE ON MINISTRY WITH PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

From Stigma to Stigmata   

Attend in person or virtually - Register here

One barrier to disability inclusion is found in the discomfort that many non-disabled people have with disabilities. Using examples from Deaf Catholic worship, Dr. Audrey Seah, assistant professor of Religious Studes at The College of the Holy Cross, proposes that a liturgical-sacramental approach may help Christians resist objectifying gazes that stigmatize people and instead, encourage an encounter with mystery through disability as stigmata.
