This is the second part of a two part kōrero, so go have a listen to that one before heading into this one.  In pt. 1 we talked about what led Manny to this combination of theology, hope and disability; about the use of language and what it says about underlying assumptions regarding disability; and we even tackle church healing culture as he has experienced it in his life - does God heal?  Why isn't he healing? What does church healing culture say to people like Manny? In this episode we ask, did God make a mistake when he made people with disabilities? We look at the social view of disability - what is it that really disables someone?  And we look at inclusive spaces - the physical and attitudinal barriers to inclusion for people with disabilities.    --- Connect with me at downtoearthconversations.com or at: Facebook: facebook.com/downtoearth.conversations  Instagram: @downtoearth.conversations Email: downtoearth.conversations@gmail.com
