If
the much needed radical change in our attitude to disability
is to come about then we must realize that disability is about
rights not charity, and empowerment not pity. Only by working
together for equality and celebrating diversity can we become
the truly inclusive community we are meant to be.
Making a World of Difference seeks to
respond to the agenda being set by disabled people. The slogan
'Nothing about us without us' underlies the changes brought
about by the disability movement, with its emphasis on the
empowerment of disabled people and the importance of empowerment
as an issue of human rights.
Aware that this agenda is often overlooked
by the Christian Church, Roy McCloughry and Wayne Morris have
written a highly stimulating book to encourage people with
little or no formal theological training to reflect on the
implications of relating disability to the Christian faith.
By featuring a number of case studies, and drawing on a wealth
of personal experience, they offer practical advice on what
individuals and churches can do to make a difference.
