Across the country, churches are discovering their incredible capacity to welcome and weave people with developmental disabilities and their families into the life of their congregation. Such churches speak vividly about the ways their worship and ministry have been transformed by very simple gestures of hospitality and inclusion. This presentation addressed practical ways congregations can have a real impact on the lives of people with disabilities and their families living in their community and to make worship more accessible to everyone.
Presented at the 2009 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
