This study aims to analyze what it means for persons with disabilities to practice religion, as well as
the implication of religious activities in the context of social welfare. The narrative research methodology
was applied to explore the lives, disabilities, and religious commitments of the three voluntarily consented
participants. All three participants shared three common life aspects: experience of abandonment from
family, currently living with one of family members, and participation in a self-help group for the disabled
initiated by a religious institution. It was outlined that the religious undertakings experienced by the disabled
in the community resembled a ballet stage. First of all, the underestimation of the contributions of the
disabled to the society was compared to corps de ballet, whereas becoming conscious of organizational
shifts through the disable’s participation within religious groups was metaphorized as the “resurrection
and expression on stage”. Second of all, relevance of living with one member of the family to one’s religious
commitments for the disabled was seen to resemble pas de deux, grasping its meaning as a “three-legged
race” in an unbalanced environment or “two meshing gears” in a homeostatic environment. Consequently,
we suggested that the disabled’s religious commitments can be understood to full extent only if they were
observed as partaking in both vertical and horizontal spirituality. Moreover, regarding normalization, it
was implicitly argued that religious activities can be the means by which people with disabilities can
participate to the society.
