Product Description:

Dr. Penny Seay will address inclusion of persons with disabilities in congregations, drawing from her recent research. Dr. Seay interviewed people, both those with disabilities and those not identified as having disabilities, about their experiences in inclusive worship and community life. Although more than fifty million Americans live with disabilities, few are present in communities of faith. Participants will learn some of the steps that can be taken to welcome all people into congregations, and how to break down some of the attitudinal, architectural, and programmatic barriers to inclusion.
