Amy Kenny is a disabled scholar and author of the new book, My Body Is Not a Prayer Request. I am incredibly thankful for Amy and her voice on disability, diversity, and justice in the church. From “prayerful perpetrators,” to ableism, to designing spaces for disabled people actually being the more inclusive way, we covered a lot in this conversation. Amy’s experiences, if we will have ears to listen, inform us of so much we need to know in the areas of theology and praxis.
