Abstract

Pastoral theology is often concerned with finding God in the everyday experience of life and in the shepherding of God's people. Often, within this journey of life, one turns to scripture to find accompaniment or indeed to discern what God is communicating. However, sometimes we find that our daily experience can present the Word of God in a way that is direct, alive and at work. This article draws the reader into a deeper reflection upon the prologue of John's Gospel, in which the evangelist identifies Christ as the Word of God, alive and living amongst His people. The question is do we recognize the Word of God when it is alive and active and what might that mean for people who have disabilities and those who are approaching death?
