| Summary: | This response expresses reservations about the portrayal of the church as an exclusive institution, concerned more with its own formation than with educational processes which would raise consciousness about how ways in which people can respond to the kingdom in their own contexts. Two main reservations are presented. The first asks questions about the distinctiveness and difference of Christian social ethics while the second questions how the truth of the story that the church tells can be known. The author suggests that education has a broader meaning and application than simply initiation into a story and training in specific skills and that the institutional church would do well to listen to the voices beyond its own walls, particularly in the communities of people living with disabilities. |
