Making an impact an ocean away

By Katherine Dickson
M.Div. ’12

Nervous in The Netherlands, I approached the podium. It was July 1, and I was about to deliver a paper at the Third Biennial Conference of the European Society for the Study of Theology and Disability. This was easily the farthest-flung stop on a vocational journey that was nurtured by the courses I’ve taken, the relationships I’ve formed and the resources I’ve tapped at MTSO.

This conference, in the Dutch village of Schoorl, brought together top scholars in the relatively young field of disability and theology. I was the only master’s-level student from the U.S. who spoke. When I finished the presentation, one of the scholars approached me and assured me, “You have a voice.”

That brief exchange is typical of the way I have been encouraged and challenged as I delve deeper into this fascinating and blossoming area of study. Read the complete story.
