Shannon Dingle Disability

After the birth of their first child, her body… well, it broke. A couple of autoimmune disorders sprung up unexpectedly, including rheumatoid arthritis which permanently damaged her hands and knees, though God was faithful. Effective treatment has it under control most of the time. Some days she limps, and other days she swallowed pills or get IV treatments. This reminded her that God’s glory can be demonstrated well in her weakness.

Shannon stumbled into the realm of disability and disease in several ways: in elementary school when she rocked the IEP for years due to severe speech impairments, in the summer of one of those years when she was hanging out under Mississippi magnolia trees. Her mom nursed her Pops through end-stage lung cancer, in high school when her friend on the swim team needed someone to help include her because she couldn’t hear, in college when she worked at a preschool program for children with developmental delays resulting from prenatal drug exposure.

After graduation as she taught kids with a range of disabilities in public schools in Texas and North Carolina, and in consulting as she developed training materials for new special ed teachers. Somewhere along the way, she earned her MAEd in Special Education, specializing in learning disabilities and autism, but all her experiences before that and since have taught her far more than her formal education ever could.

Shannon Dingle Story

Dingle joined Teach For America after college. She was profiled in the organization’s book Teaching as Leadership for success in teaching special education writing at Ringgold Middle School in Rio Grande City, Texas, and earning the National Education Association’s Foundation for the Improvement of Education. After her time at Ringgold, she taught high school in Raleigh, NC, and then worked for Teach For America designing professional development training materials for special education corps members for Teach For America.

In June 2016, Christianity Today featured an interview with her, calling her “one of the voices at the forefront of the evangelical adoption movement.” The article focused on her work with churches to include children with disabilities and children who are in adoptive or foster placements in the life of the church.

At the time, she was working for the Christian non-profit organization Key Ministry as the Director of Education and Training, teaching churches how to welcome people with disabilities in their church and meaningfully include them in faith communities. As an expert in the field of disability ministry, she is profiled in the books Champion by Craig Johnson and Joel Osteen and Real Families, Real Needs by Joni Eareckson Tada.

She wrote a viral article on being pro-life and voting for Hillary Clinton in August 2016, which was reported in Slate, Daily Kos, HuffPost, and Sojourners. Her story as a Christian conservative woman rejecting Donald Trump as a candidate prior to the election, primarily due to his remarks on sexual assault, was profiled in The Wall Street Journal.

She lost her job at Key Ministry due to these events, being forced to resign because of her progressive politics and theology. Her activism leads to harassment from people self-identifying as part of the alt-right movement, which she discussed on the podcast Break It Down with guitarist Matt Carter from the band Emery.

As part of her advocacy work, she joined 31 other Christian women writers, speakers, and activists on the Ruby Woo Pilgrimage. This evangelical Christian woman — all wearing Ruby Woo, a shade of bright red lipstick from MAC Cosmetics — took a four-day journey to landmarks in women’s and African-American history, culminating in visits with key lawmakers in DC on the final day.
