Summer Institute on Theology and Disability
May 26, 2015 - May 29, 2015
The Summer Institute on Theology and Disability (SITD) brings together academics, theologians, practitioners and others—people with and without labeled disabilities—to explore the inclusive intersections of theology and disabilities. Founded in 2010 through a project funded by the Pennsylvania Council on Developmental Disabilities, the Summer Institute is led by Bill Gaventa and a group of core faculty including Hans Reinders, John Swinton, Tom Reynolds, Amos Yong, Erik Carter and Jeremy Schipper. The Bethesda Institute is now the primary and organizing sponsor of this international and, increasingly interfaith annual event. Entering its sixth year, the Summer Institute creates a significant space for thought-and-practice leadership in this rapidly growing arena of theology and disability.
