Shun Not the Struggle: The Language and Culture of Deaf Catholics in America, 1949-1978
Moving Works is a film making ministry that makes innovative shorts about Jesus. This one is about Sarah, a student and Starbucks barista who learned ASL just to connect with the chance Deaf customer who might happen to walk in the door. What she does in this short is preach as a witness, not only to Deaf viewers but to hearing ones who are touched by her example and her expression of love. Sacred eloquence in sign language: it’s not all about homilies, and women can do it, too.
