Most disability theologians consider vulnerability the cornerstone of personal transformation and the development of inclusive communities. For them, being aware of one’s vulnerability is synonymous with learning to show solidary with others, especially persons with disabilities. The article argues that while this can be the case, it is not the rule. Being vulnerable can also lead people to individualistic and selfish behavior. What makes the difference is the a priori ethical framework in which people interpret vulnerability and not vulnerability itself. To make this argument, the article draws on two Eastern Orthodox sources: Savatie Baștovoi and Maria Skobstova
