From experience to ethics: The shaping impact of narrative on youth ministry and disability

Youth workers are uniquely positioned to address the individual, communal, and eternal dimensions of the adolescent experience. The opportunity to address these three dimensions in the lives of adolescents with disabilities requires an intentional relationship between theory and practice. The relationship is bridged by ethical strategies that address the individual, communal, and eternal dimensions. The author offers ethical strategies for youth workers to foster a culture of true belonging for adolescents with disabilities.
