Almost half of the surveyed schools cited a lack of space or resources to adequately educate future clergy in disability ministries, and more than half of them said on the job experience would not be beneficial. So where’s the good learning supposed to take place?

Quote
Nearly half of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that an already crowded curriculum (48.3%) or the lack of faculty with expertise (46.2%) limited the extent to which their schools could explicitly address disability within theological education. On the other hand, the majority of respondents disagreed or strongly disagreed that new clergy could best learn about these issues on the job (67.0%) or that their students were unlikely to work with people with disabilities after graduation (86.1%).
