Stations of the Cross: Disability Justice
2024-03-14 19:00 - 20:00 | Duke Memorial United Methodist Church, 504 W Chapel Hill St, Durham, NC, 27701, United States
Interactive Stations of the Cross with L’Arche NC

Thursday, March 14 at Duke Memorial at 7:00PM (in person)

At each of the fourteen stations, we will prayerfully memorialize and visualize the journey of Christ to the Cross. At the gathering, we will use reflections written by Tatum Tricarico, the L’Arche NC Disability Justice and Theology intern from Duke Divinity School. These reflections will invite us to experience the stations of the Cross from a distinct Disability theology perspective. This will inform us about the joys and sorrows of the Disabled community, allow us to notice the unique ways that God is at work from a Disability perspective, and give us the opportunity to pray for God to help us move beyond the Ableism and discrimination that are often present. We will travel through these stations in solidarity with Disabled people and with a deep trust that Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection open up a sense of our own calling to live amidst the joys and sorrows of others.

L’Arche NC’s mission is to cultivate inclusive communities where people across the spectrum of intellectual and developmental disability identities live and flourish together. Read more: https://larchenc.org
