| Summary: | The correlation of disability studies and feminist theology is discussed, as this is one arena where feminist theologians are failing to create an inclusive community. Of particular concern for feminist theologians and ethicists is the dominant language of embodiment and wholeness pervasive in feminist theological ethics. In this paper, I argue that feminist theologies of embodiment and wholeness are incomplete without understanding what these terms mean for persons with disabilities.1 I also challenge the discipline to actively prepare the community by looking critically at its language and pedagogy to create a theological ethic where one can be “different but not alienated.” |
