ABSTRACT
This chapter is an exploration in the seeking of truth – truth and truths – which emanate from reflections of our embodied living experiences along with a creative searching and living into theological understandings of God, humanity, and the created world outside the exclusive and invalidating frame of both the terms and referent states of ‘normal’ and ‘disability’. Our exploration, which is a work in progress, draws understanding and insight from the offerings of art and poetry, which Rhonda will bring, and theological musings, which I (Mary) will bring, as part of an ongoing intentional conversation between feminist, disability, and queer theological frameworks. These explorations seek to offer a contribution to the ongoing task of articulating a liberatory theological anthropology beyond the constricting and life-denying frame of ‘normal’.
