Quote
Ministry students can be formed as they learn about, for example, the roles disability have played in our sacred texts or the history of cultural treatment of persons with disabilities. They can be formed by foe practical, embodied understandings that emerge when experiencing worship with persons with disabilities or helping a congregation learn new ways of supporting families facing disabilities. They can be formed by moral imperatives that arise from witnessing injustice, cruelty, or neglect. Together, these three types of formation represent what has been called “three apprenticeships” (cognitive, practical, and normative) of theological education. 1
