ABSTRACT

The chapter explores how African Initiated churches minister “to and with” persons with disabilities. In terms of historical chronology, the African Independent churches emerged out of the missionary churches. As such, they developed unique Christianity which integrated indigenous culture and strived for a liberated African Christianity. This chapter seeks to question the approaches used by African Indigenous churches to minister “to and with” persons with disabilities. The gap this chapter is filling is not only about the approaches used, but how Zimbabwean cultural notions impact the ministering to persons with disabilities in a purported Christian setting.
