Becoming a Timeful People: Disability and the art of being with Jesus What does discipleship and vocation mean for people living with profound intellectual disabilities and people living with advanced dementia? What does it mean to be a slow and gentle follower of Jesus and not to comprehend intellectually who Jesus is? This lecture will explore the idea of discipleship without words. Can the body of Christ be whole without the discipleship of all of God's people? What is the vocation of individuals with profound cognitive or intellectual disabilities within God's Kingdom? It is hoped that through examining these questions the debates around inclusion can be turned into a conversation around discipleship rather than identity politics.
