Copious Hosting Summary

Copious Hosting: A Theology of Access for People with Disabilities by Jennie Weiss Block

Many religious people, however well meaning, are unfamiliar with the language and philosophy of the disability movement. They unintentionally give offence by language and actions that reflect a by-gone era. This book aims to acquaint church and synagogue leaders with the history and philosophy of the disability movement and provides resources from scripture and theology for thinking and preaching about disability in a new way.

Copious Hosting Reviews

"Copious Hosting invites us to view the lives of disabled persons through the lens of dignity. We realize, through Jennie Block s sensitive and informative treatment, that the church sustains a tremendous void when it loses sight of the immeasurable contributions that are lost whenever disabled persons are denied full inclusion in the church. Jennie Block has provided the nondisabled population with a unique opportunity to listen and learn from those who best know the gifts and challenges of living with disabilities." Rev. Sharon Austin, Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church

"Ms. Block is well equipped to write this book....I like the book. The writing is easy to understand and it offers both the context and a theology of disability. I rate this books as a 8.5 out of 10."
Thomas St. James O'Connor, ThD, Journal of Relilgion
"Recommended, especially for libraries serving ministers, and those preparing for ministry."
Augustine J. Curley, Library Journal, March 2002
