| Summary: | Disabled clergy are beginning to stretch leadership practices, but overall ministers with disabilities remain the "un-imagined". This paper will encourage imagination in liturgy to help disabled people lead. Imagination interrogates discriminatory practices in determining who is "perfect" enough to lead worship. Imagination helps live in liturgical time as "crip time". Imagining a person with a disability not only receiving the Eucharist but presiding at Jesus' table can affirm the existence and gifts of disabled people as well as others participating. Through stretching our imagination about leadership, time, and sacraments, the ministry of disabled people can challenge and transform the church. |
