Boston College Chestnut Hill Campus, November 8th, 2019. Spirituality is often unrecognized and unaddressed as a dimension of care, support, and quality of life in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Why?
This lecture and discussion will discuss some of the reasons, and illustrate how exploring the meaning of disability leads to the realm of spirituality, and how spirituality permeates the life cycles of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, issues of care, and quality of life.
* The presenter will be Rev. Bill Gaventa, director, Summer Institute on Theology and Disability and the Collaborative on Faith and Disability linking various University Centers of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and author of Spirituality and Disability: Recovering Wholeness.
* Sponsored by the School of Theology and Ministry and supported by the Pyne Endowment Trust in memory of Professor Margaret E. Pyne, a lifelong advocate for persons with disabilities.
