Sarah Barton | Becoming the Baptized Body
from The Distillery Hosted by Princeton Theological Seminary
Baptism is a foundational practice, and is considered a sacrament in most Christian churches. This ancient practice has been significant since Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. Churches today have divergent theologies and ways of baptizing people. But in today’s interview, Sarah Barton shares what can be learned about baptism across these theological and practical differences by learning from people with intellectual disabilities. Her recent book is “Becoming the Baptized Body: Disability and the Practice of Christian Community.” Barton is a theologian with dual appointments at Duke Divinity School and the Duke University School of Medicine in the occupational therapy doctorate division. She serves as both a pediatric occupational therapist and a theologian. Guest: Sarah Barton | Host: Shari Oosting
