The Whirlwinds of War: Conflict, Disability, and Theological Reflection

Pages 214-220 | Published online: 11 Oct 2008
 

ABSTRACT

With this new century we face increasing levels of war, conflict and violence, and major causes of disability; in times of conflict people with disabilities are more likely to be neglected; the needs of people with disabilities prevail long past the end of hostility. This essay presents theological and other resources that give spiritual and moral depth to the quest for an end to violence. Reflection on theology and the struggle of people with disabilities can sustain our hopes and our actions, can give energy and vitality to our attempts to live in communities of resistance and solidarity, and can break the boundaries that place others beyond the scope of our moral concern.
