The Mad and Crip Theology Podcast

This podcast is hosted by Amy Panton and Miriam Spies. We are Mad and Crip theologians who want to contribute to change. Join us as we talk with theologians, artists, activists, writers and members of the mad/disabled and crip communities who are doing important work in Canada and around the world. This podcast is an opportunity to model how faith communities can engage in theological and spiritual conversations around madness and cripness. For accessibility, transcripts are included beside the podcast description. Watch the podcast with captions on our YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRUW9z5hoqP_WK74hg3N8bQ

Abstract

I was born prematurely 75 years ago, given too much oxygen in the incubator where I lived for a month, and had no usable vision throughout life as a consequence. As a person blind from birth, I can testify to the truth of John Hull’s quote that "the world we know is the world projected by our bodies.” Throughout life, I’ve wrestled with God and with the people of God about what to make not only of blindness itself, but societal attitudes towards both blindness and disabilities in general. Journey with me as I chart this pilgrim’s progress and feel free to email me about how it relates to your journey of faith.
