Overview
Graduate Theological Education and the Human Experience of Disability examines graduate schools of theology and their limited familiarity with the study of disability - and the presence of people with disabilities in particular - on their campuses. Dubbed a "missing note" by one theologian, this text offers critical research and illuminates new pathways for theologia and practice in the community of faith. Reviews of previous literature, theology, and practices illuminate how people with disabilities have historically been marginalized by the religious community. Theologians, people with disabilities and researchers offer suggestions for incorporating disability studies into theological education and religious life.This trailblazing book sheds light on humankind's most serious health challenge ever--how to save our precious planet--describes the strategic opportunities available to help the endangered human species cope constructively, and demonstrates the importance of hope, humor, and love in the process.

An outline of living that integrates spirituality, education, and psychotherapy with an ecological perspective and emphasizes body/earth as the soil of regeneration. Clinebell, a pastoral psychotherapist, "gets in touch" with some basic ideas about the Self, soul, and earth, defining the interrelatedness of healing and ethics with methods of "ecotherapy," and "ecoeducation." The volume's orientation is spiritual, sometimes spinning off into some New Age jargon but for all its political correctness still retains some honest assessments of the importance of nature to the psyche.
