We plan to read Amy Kenny's book "My Body Is Not A Prayer Request" and then gather early in 2023 to discuss it. If you wish to join this discussion and would like a copy of the book, please contact Pastor Jo (jschouten@nacchurch.org). Here is a short introduction:
 
Written by a disabled Christian, this book shows that the church is missing out on the prophetic witness and blessing of disability. Kenny reflects on her experiences inside the church to expose unintentional ableism and cast a new vision for Christian communities to engage disability justice. She shows that until we cultivate church spaces where people with disabilities can fully belong, flourish, and lead, we are not valuing the diverse members of the body of Christ.
 
Offering a unique blend of personal storytelling, fresh and compelling writing, biblical exegesis, and practical application, this book invites readers to participate in disability justice and create a more inclusive community in church and parachurch spaces. Engaging content such as reflection questions and top-ten lists are included.
