Listen "The disabled God, living into the resurrection"

Episode Synopsis

Nancy Eiesland was born with a congenital bone defect in her hips. By the time she was 13 years old, she had had eleven operations, and realised that pain was always going to be with her. She was a Christian; and as she matured she developed a remarkable ‘take’ on her faith and destiny. She said that she hoped that when she went to heaven she would still be disabled. Her conception of the risen, wounded Jesus as being 'The Disabled God' opens up new opportunities for our understanding of the divine, and our own human condition.
