Abstract

In this article I share some of the ways I am being shaped by and with disabled Christians as part of a multi-year project to create a new worship resource. As I chart our process in creating this prayer book, I offer a possible roadmap for those seeking to engage in anti-ableist collaboration and partnership within faith communities.
