This module will explore the nature of disenfranchised grief by understanding the language of grief and loss. Disenfranchised grief can include suicide, traumatic death, and other losses that are challenging to process because they are unacknowledged, avoided or not legitimized. 

This module will try to approach how God is connected to disability in various biblical texts. In this module, we will practice analyzing scripture passages through a disability lens. We will observe how God engages with disability as presented in the biblical narrative, and learn how to address the spiritual, ethical, and hermeneutical problems that arise.

This seven‑week formation series prepares grief‑care volunteers to serve with kindness, wisdom, and compassion. 

“He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.” — Psalm 103:7 (NIV)

This Module will bring a particular emphasis on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the calling of Matthew.  We will reflect on the Church’s call to cultivate “belonging” and envision practical ways that individuals with disabilities can be further implemented in Church communities.

This module will explore what it means to grieve and lament, and we will learn how to help others in their time of sorrow and loss. Special attention will be paid to the Psalms as a resource for encouragement for those dealing with death.

Christian discipleship has too often been imagined in overly cognitive terms, as though maturity in Christ were measured chiefly by conceptual mastery, verbal articulation, or doctrinal fluency. The module offers a different account. It presents spiritual formation as participation in the life of God through embodied, relational, habitual, devotional, and communal practices in which disabled persons are not peripheral recipients of ministry but full disciples whose lives disclose something vital about the church, communion, and belonging.

This Module will explore Human action in Death. We will discuss suicide, euthanasia/MAID and infanticide and how they are addressed within a framework of disability theology. We will critically examine where ableist rhetoric appears. We will examine the implications of technologies that have the power to manipulate, extend, and end life.

This module will explore the impact of death and loss upon the family system. You will learn about death and the family life cycle, looking at how family members react individually to loss and collectively as a family. A special emphasis will focus on how children understand death and express their grief.

This module will explore the various elements of the Enneagram from a Christian and spiritual formation perspective, teaching us how to harness our God-given personality gifts to walk closer with Him and experience His transforming power in our lives.
