About the Author
Brett Webb-Mitchell is interested in the place and presence of all people at God's banquet feast, including people with disabilities. An ordained clergyperson in the Presbyterian Church (USA), he has served the church as a pastor, a chaplain, and a seminary professor at Duke Divinity School. Currently he is the director of the School of the Pilgrim (www.schoolofthepilgrim.com), a teaching ministry that takes people on actual pilgrimages around the world to enable them to discover the pilgrimage they are on at home. He is the author of various books advocating the full inclusion in the church of people with disabilities. These include God Plays Piano Too, Dancing with Disabilities, and the soon-to-be-published Beyond the Ramp.
