Disability and the Church

We believe that everyone is made in the image of God and all are of infinite worth and equal value to Him. It is vital that the church enables access and encourages full participation of all people, including those with disabilities.

The following pages seek to offer resources and advice to help parishes in fulfilling this vision:
