Abstract
In the society that makes ableism as a normal standard, self-autonomy is often identified with the personhood. The personhood of people with disability is often reduced because they are seen to be unable to perform their activities ‘normally’ without any help from others. All creations are relational beings because they are created by and in a relational God. The Church witnessed their faith, through Athanasian creed, that the Holy Trinity neither confounding the Persons (persona), nor dividing the Essence (substantia). Using Duns Scotus’s theory of haecceitas, I argue that every human being, even every creation, especially people with disability, possesses the thisness of their own that comes from the thisness of the relational Holy Trinity.

Abstrak
Dalam masyarakat yang menjadikan keadaan fisik dan mental yang able sebagai standar ‘normal,’ otonomi diri seringkali diidentifikasi dengan kepribadian (personhood) seseorang. Seorang manusia yang ‘normal’ adalah orang yang menguasai diri, dapat memutuskan dan menentukan pilihan bagi diri, mandiri, dan tidak bergantung kepada orang lain. Individualitas ataupun kepribadian orang dengan disabilitas sering direduksi karena orang dengan disabilitas dianggap tidak dapat melakukan aktivitas secara ‘normal’ tanpa dibantu oleh orang lain. Seluruh makhluk hidup adalah makhluk yang relasional karena diciptakan oleh dan dalam Allah yang relasional. Gereja menyaksikan iman, melalui Pengakuan Iman Athanasius, bahwa Allah Trinitas tidak bercampur dalam Tiga Pribadi (persona) dan tidak terpisah dalam Esensi-Nya (substantia). Dengan menggunakan teori haecceitas dari Duns Scotus, saya berargumen bahwa setiap manusia bahkan setiap ciptaan, secara khusus orang dengan disabilitas, memiliki ke-ini-an masing-masing yang bersumber dari ke-ini-an Allah Trinitas yang relasional.
Kata kunci: disabilitas, ke-ini-an, kepribadian, komuni, Trinitas
