With John 9:1-41 as a theological context, and assisted by a team of the child's family members and select parishioners, the pastor developed and executed a plan of liturgical reintroduction by appropriating some best practices from deafblind education, including the use of an intervener and the creation of a 'tactile missalete.'  Implemented over six weeks, the perceived progress of the project, as observed in the child's changing level of engagement, was tracked through group discussions and the sharing of field notes."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Pittsburgh Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["31bd5819-b5a3-4928-96d5-b581f38b637b"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791127559820279808,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T06:45:51.208Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T16:40:02Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T07:28:59Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"aafc82c1-5322-4f78-ae74-cb66fad71de0","accessControl_ssim":["d074502e-9050-485a-b956-c82f6f3a61b2"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Seeking the song of the desert: online retreat preaching with parents of children with a disability"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T16:40:01Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T03:04:13Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["45bdcb3c-2daf-40c2-8b55-a7528b417a0d"],"hasLease_ssim":["0981d65e-d857-4673-9443-2ed0759f5608"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Aquinas Institute of Theology"],"advisor_tesim":["Honora Werner"],"year_tesim":["2015"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Dawn M Carrillo"],"keyword_tesim":["Computer network resources--Religious aspects--Christianity"],"publisher_tesim":["Aquinas Institute of Theology"],"subject_tesim":["Religion","Church work with families","Case studies","Christianity","Computer network resources","Pastoral counseling","Church work with children with disabilities"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["This qualitative research project sought to determine the efficacy of preaching in the context of an online retreat.

The parents' response to written materials and participation in the blog, 'Continuing the conversation' was followed and evaluated. The blog reached a broader population than anticipated and its work focused on the themes of hospitality, parenting and children's spiritual development. Concepts of 'community,' the use of the Internet as a religious tool and the theology of disability are also discussed."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Hartford Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["8e52e4c8-38b6-4846-872d-a744b4f5725d"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1799721957518737408,"timestamp":"2024-05-22T03:30:07.558Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-10-12T03:23:37Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-05-22T02:19:55Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"127b6da1-defd-4834-a668-3b9d7d0b0117","accessControl_ssim":["420ba147-e8bd-46ff-9599-ee48f5e4ea7b"],"depositor_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"depositor_tesim":["ckarpinski@atla.com"],"title_tesim":["Guidelines for the ministry to handicapped children in Korea"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-10-12T03:23:37Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-16T22:39:38Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["707b3ebd-114b-48e1-aa72-7ae2c6ea88a6"],"hasLease_ssim":["3c0cc5a5-3bd4-4bad-8e00-399cbdf71f96"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Unknown"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["San Francisco Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Hyunsson S Kim"],"year_tesim":["1994"],"resource_type_tesim":["Unknown"],"types_tesim":["Text"],"creator_tesim":["Jeng Ok Yoon"],"publisher_tesim":["San Francisco Theological Seminary"],"subject_tesim":["Church work with children","Children with disabilities","Church work with children with disabilities"],"language_tesim":["English"],"abstract_tesim":["The purpose of this dissertation/project is to study the needs of handicapped children in Korea in light of a critical theological perspective and to develop guidelines for a ministry to them for the Korean church. Churches and ministers, ignorant and inexperienced in the mission to the handicapped, need practical guidance.  But, first of all, Christians must see the disabled as persons of dignity and individual worth, as they have been created in the image of God.  The churches should recognize the problems of the disabled and take leadership in eliminating the prejudices and unfairnesses prevailing in society.  The subject of this paper was limited to mentally retarded children. Part 1 presents the general understanding of mentally retarded children; part 2 explores the biblical resources related to the education for mentally retarded children, the development of their spiritual characters and the church's sharing with them.  In part 3 these investigations are incorporated into a practical program of church education. Finally, a number of suggestions and conclusions are offered."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["San
