description: As parents of a son with disabilities Thomas E. Reynolds and his wife know what it's like to be misunderstood by a church community. In Vulnerable Communion  Reynolds draws upon that personal experience and a diverse body of literature to empower churches and individuals to foster deeper hospitality toward persons with disabilities.Reynolds argues that the Christian story is one of strength coming from weakness of wholeness emerging from brokenness and of power in vulnerability. He offers valuable biblical theological and pastoral tools to understand and welcome those with disabilities. Vulnerable Communion will be a useful resource for any student theologian church leader or lay person seeking to discover the power of God revealed through weakness.
