Many parents
want their children to be spiritually nurtured & included
in their faith communities. Parents are often weary however from
the day-to-day responsibility of caring for their child with a
disability and also from advocating with the school system, the
medical system, and the disability service provider system. Many
parents hunger for their own opportunities for worship, spiritual
nourishment, fellowship and a supportive community that reaches
us to them and their family. The burden of inclusion & faith
development for their child should not be the sole responsibility
of the parent, by intentionally shared by the faith community.
Join us
to hear from parents what is working and not working for them
in various faith communities and explore new opportunities to
walk alongside families and persons with disabilities.
