Abstract An examination of the nature of disability is followed by the author's apologia for the development of an inclusive theology rather than a liberation theology. Inclusion of persons with disabilities in communities of faith raises the questions: Who is the person to be included? Who is the community in which the person would be included? Two overarching theological themes, the imago dei and the body of Christ, are developed. Other issues briefly discussed include hospitality (as both guest and host) and hesed, relationships to God and among the Christian community, limitations and perfection, theodicy and unity in diversity.
