| Summary: | The world we are living in is full of wounds; in this context, we are called by the wounded God to share his love through our words and deeds to the wounded people in order to create equality, justice and peace. In this article I will specifically focus on the missiology for the persons with disabilities. My personal wounded experience and the experience of my family challenged me to work towards the persons with disabilities. In the wounded world, persons with disabilities are socially, politically, culturally and economically excluded in the form of verbal, psychological and physical, in the church and in the society in Sri Lanka. In this article I will define who a disable is, and how they are excluded by the society and church and how missiology can heal the wounds of the persons with disabilities. In my new missiology, I will include; the wounded God, Blind Christology, New spirituality, Re-interpreting miracles of Jesus and re-reading the hymns and proverbs from the perspective of persons with disabilities. This will help the people with disabilities to live together with all people in the house hold of God. I will then make suggestions and recommendations for the church. |
