Blessed is the Body
A Webinar from ADN and Herald Press
Anabaptist Disabilities Network and Herald Press invite you to a webinar with Tatum Tricarico, author of Blessed is the Body, a Lenten devotional centered around disability justice.
During Lent, we often reflect on our limits—from dust we are, and to dust we will return. We remember that we will never be able to do everything we want to do, even and especially when what we want to do is love our neighbor well. In this daily devotional, Disability rights activist Tatum Tricarico helps us turn the tables on Lent. Rather than a time of feeling condemned or guilty beyond help, Lent is when we can take a breath and finally say what we have been trying to hide all year: I am human. I can’t do it all. And still, I am beloved by God.
During the webinar Tricarico will share insights from her book and have time to answer questions. Please join us on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 2:30 pm EST/ 1:30 pm CST via Zoom: https://MCUSA.zoom.us/j/89439571091
