Access Sunday - Psalm 19 | October 8, 2023 | Brooke Dooley

The Rev. Brooke Dooley, our Associate Pastor, delivers a message reflecting on Psalm 19: 1-14, titled “Access Sunday - Psalm 19" on the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost.

 

A brief synopsis:

Rev. Dooley highlights how traditional narratives about healing can sometimes marginalize disabled individuals, emphasizing the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and community.

They call for a reimagining of religious spaces where disabled people are not only invited but also essential to the expression of God's creation. By referencing various theologians, activists, and personal experiences, Rev. Dooley encourages embracing diversity in all its forms, while also acknowledging the emotional complexities of living with disabilities.
