Robyn, Stephanie, and returning guest Ian Lasch talk about the sacraments and disability theology.  This is the first part of a longer conversation.

The Rev Ian Lasch is an autistic priest in the Episcopal Church who takes great joy in living out the priestly vocation to serve as “pastor, priest, and teacher.” He is currently studying for his PhD through the University of Aberdeen’s Centre for Autism and Theology, and his dissertation is on autism and the imago Dei. He is married to Loren, also an Episcopal priest, and father to two young boys.
