The Significance Of Disabled Spirituality
Disabled Spirituality does not need to be complicated to be life altering or world changing! It must connect us to the need for each other and the social justice needs of our community.
Sadly, it seems the church has in many ways lost the very visible disabled spirituality seen decades ago in the 504 Sit In. We need more Dennis Billups!
Did you know there is no Disability Act in Canada or federal laws of disability rights? Local & provincial sub laws are around. But the protection for the disabled is largely understated.
How might we reinspire the Dennis Billups in our communities today?
How has or does your spirituality as a person with a disability Influence your life today?
“Billups told the Guardian that “I was just making sure that we had our minds together to keep going forward and not look back. And to sing as often as we could, and to make sure that we checked on each and every other person around us, so that we could have that sense of unity. I went around the building, sometimes all night, doing cheering, doing counselling, doing listening, doing debating, that kind of stuff. I had to keep people up. I think that’s what I saw as my greatest gift: that I brought in the universal aspect with the meditation and spiritualism that kept a lot of stuff together.”
