Disability

"When the disabled are missing, the Christian community itself becomes disabled.’
 

The World Council of Churches


We are currently seeking to further develop our work in this area, by:

  • making sure churches are properly equipped and supported to help welcome disabled people into their communities
  • making sure disabled people themselves are valued equally, fully included, and able to contribute their gifts and skills
