Season 5 Episode 4: Celebrating, Raging, Scheming with Angela & Katherine

Send us Fan MailThis is Episode 4 of the Mad and Crip Theology Podcast! Miriam and Emma join Angela Molloy and Katherine Palakovic to talk about each of their pieces in the latest issue of The Canadian Journal of Theology, Mental Health, and Disability. Angela's piece is titled "Learning to Trust the Wisdom of My Already Abundantly Holy and Whole Disabled Body" where she talks about finding and living crip theology is "an everlasting journey –one with backslides into perfectionism and roadblocks of imposter syndrome alongside glimmers of pride and assurances that I am doing the work to which I am called and am doing it well. It is my hope that the incarnational theology of this piece is a balm, resonating gently with the ableist harm you may, like me, have experienced and providing flickers of peace that we can together cocreate an alternative way.".

So often, for religion-traumatized queers, for shamed neurodivergents, for sick and mad and disabled people who fall through cracks canyon-wide, belonging brings not just comfort but material safety. Institutions tell us, implicitly or explicitly, that we don’t deserve a human life. We remind each other that we do. And then we help each other live."
