Intellectual Disability and Care in Our Churches Grand Rapids, Michigan | June 24, 2024 Mon. June 24, 2024 from 7:00PM to 8:00PM (EDT) American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin wrote, “History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us” ('I Am Not Your Negro'). Our current reality is shaped by the histories that have led us here, and we can’t seek to build a better future without taking seriously where we are now. So thinking about how people with intellectual disabilities should be treated in the church—what our ministries with, to, and from people with disabilities should be like—requires us to think carefully about the past and present in ways that are perhaps unpleasant. Many people with intellectual disabilities, their families, and their caregivers do not presently feel welcome in local congregations because of the history of cultural and social exclusion of those with such disabilities.

June 17, 2024 from 7:00PM to 8:00PM (EDT) Many people feel that reality is just impersonal, indifferent, and meaningless, only grist for society’s pragmatic utility and scaling of power and mastery. It’s the stuff we consume, stuff with which I can do whatever I want. Even religious people sometimes devalue the world as irreligious, spiritually inferior, or a temptation to idolatry. But perhaps involvement with reality is just what we humans were meant for. Loving to Know: Attuning Your Philosophy to Enhance Your Ministry Grand Rapids, Michigan | June 17, 2024 From Mon.
