Disability, spiritual beliefs and the church: the experiences of adults with disabilities and family members.

In this paper we report the results of a qualitative interpretation study to find out how people with disabilities and their families use mental beliefs to judge the meaning of disability and to address issues of life experiences of people with disabilities. Participants suggested that evangelical Christianity influences their mental experience related to disability to improve the integration of the Church. The purpose of the application is to support experts and religious leaders who provide comprehensive care

There are mature literature on handling families with disabled children, but little is known about how people use spiritual beliefs to build meaning of life and knowledge of life. Little is known about how people with certain shared shared spiritual beliefs make sense to the life experiences of disabled people.

The authors interviewed 30 people, including two major groups: 13 parents with mixed developmental disabilities and 9 adults with disability. In 1998, the participants lived in the metropolitan area (USA) in the southwest part of the United States of America. It was mainly Caucasian.

Judgment and difficulties lead to spiritual challenges, self destruction, dependence on God, and increased faith in God. People with disabilities experienced a common difficulty, but the participants chose to live in a happy and appreciated way. Participants' spiritual beliefs stabilized their lives and provided meanings for handicapped experiences, aid response and other benefits. Participant proposals include raising church aid and religious support in promoting theological understanding of disability using a continuous care model.

Although research designs limit the universality of research results, it can be applied to experts and religious leaders who help to provide comprehensive care.

What we have to do is to have a correct political structure to make the church easier to access and allow people to drink a cup of tea at the end of worship. There is a big difference between inclusion and attribution
