Dr. Eleanor McLaughlin assesses the role of technology for human flourishing of people with disabilities in two steps. First, she defines human flourishing as depending in large part on our relationships with others, suggesting that, despite Christian theology's historical failure to understand this relational core of human flourishing, evidenced by the church's supporting the us/them divide between people with and without disabilities, there are nevertheless resources within theology that can help overcome this divide, and thus strengthen relationships between all people.
