"This prayer book is a courageous, beautiful, and indispensable companion for anyone who wants worship to honor every body. Grounded in disabled lived experience and rigorous theology, it offers liturgies, prayers, hymns, and practical guidance that transform inaccessible traditions into radically inclusive practices. I celebrate and recommend it wholeheartedly with joy and urgency."

Devan Stahl, associate professor of bioethics and religion at Baylor University

"Practical theology at its best does not theorize from a distance—it listens, it lives with, then it builds. This is exactly what Rebecca Spurrier, Bekah Anderson, and their collaborators have done: Years of research, interviews, and communal discernment distilled into prayers, blessings, and liturgies that any congregation can use. There is a refusal to treat disability as a problem to accommodate rather than a source of theological wisdom. Every hymn, litany, and confession here asks the same underlying question the best liturgy always asks: Whose bodies have we assumed when we say 'we'?"

Cláudio Carvalhaes, Marilyn Seven Endowed Chair in Religion and the Arts at Union Theological Seminary

"It's not often I read a theological book where my crip, queer body can find a home, but I am grateful to Rebecca Spurrier and Bekah Andersen for creating such a place. Crip and mad readers, worshipers, and ministers will resonate with its forceful confession of ableism and claim of abundance. Allies, advocates, learners, and sibling disciples will be challenged and enriched by these liturgies. Powerful prayers, evocative litanies, and gorgeous hymns are woven thoughtfully through bodyminds and experiences, making room for crip joy, disabled grief, crip pain, and disabled resistance."

Miriam Spies, assistant professor of pastoral theology and contextual education at Atlantic School of Theology

"Centering Disability in Worship is a pioneering and much-needed book that transforms the insights of disability theology into refreshingly routine worship practices. These prayers, blessings, and other useful worship resources are pivotal not just for how they center the perspectives of disabled people but for how they also do essential work in focusing our attention on how God can (and indeed does) move through all kinds of disabled bodyminds, which have so much to contribute to religious communities."

Rachel Kolb, author of Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice

"I needed just this book in my ministry and in teaching worship planning to clergy and lay leaders in seminary classes and conference workshops. Centering Disability in Worship offers a bounty of every kind of resource for worship appropriate to the language and styles of different denominations. There is passion without condemnation of local churches' previous failures to be inclusive, which means it will be used often. Even more importantly, it provides ongoing inspiration for people living with disability to write their own liturgies."

Maren C. Tirabassi, United Church of Christ pastor and author of theology and worship resources

"Centering Disability in Worship is a first, a powerful collection of multiple parts of Christian worship focused on the faith experiences of people with disabilities, written by them for the church as a whole. It is both powerful and provocative, written and edited by a group of authors, leaders, clergy, and advocates working together in community."
