Episode 30 | Timothy Goode on Ableism and the Church

In this episode of the Southwark Cathedral Podcast, the Dean speaks with Canon Timothy Goode of York Minster about his book, *Breaking Not Broken: Ableism and the Church After Constantine*, and the challenge of rethinking disability within Christian life. Drawing on his own experiences and his understanding of theology, Timothy explores how assumptions about bodies, minds and ability shape our churches and communities. They consider what it means to move beyond sympathy towards empathy, why accessibility is about more than physical spaces, and how the Church might become a place where every person’s story is recognised and valued.
