Abstract
This article explores the spiritual dimensions of people with mild to severe intellectual disabilities. Dimensions that are increasingly lost and neglected, especially since the Enlightenment era which focuses to intellectuality and rationality as the summa of human existence. Human image with God has been understood only in terms of rational and intellectual abilities which leads to discrimination and neglect of God’s image in persons with disabilities, especially persons with intellectual disability. This article seeks to fi nd the image of persons with intellectual disabilities with God through the manifestation of love and shows that persons with intellectual disabilities like others can find God in Holy Spirit who works beyond human intellectual abilities.
Abstrak
Artikel ini menelusuri dimensi spiritualitas penyandang disabilitas intelektual ringan hingga parah. Dimensi yang semakin hilang dan terabaikan terutama sejak abad pencerahan yang menekankan intelektualitas dan rasionalitas sebagai keberadaan manusia yang terutama. Kesegambaran manusia dengan Allah sejauh ini dipahami hanya dalam kemampuan rasional dan intelektual yang berujung pada diskriminasi dan pengabaian kesegambaran Allah dalam diri penyandang disabilitas terutama penyandang disabilitas intelektual. Tulisan ini
berupaya untuk menemukan kesegambaran penyandang disabilitas intelektual dengan Allah melalui perwujudan hidup yang penuh cinta kasih dan menunjukkan bahwa penyandang disabilitas intelektual sama seperti mereka yang tidak menyandang disabilitas dapat menemukan Allah dalam kuasa Roh Kudus yang bekerja melampaui kemampuan intelektualitas manusia yang terbatas.
