Presbyterians for Disability Concerns welcomes those who affirm, support and advocate for the gifts, rights and responsibilities of persons with disabilities in the total life of the church. Four consultants are available to help with questions about welcoming persons with disabilities.
How seriously do we, as the church, take these familiar words? We affirm that each person has abilities to bring to the service of the church, but do we exempt people who live with disabilities?
The 2017 resources offered by Presbyterians for Disability Concerns challenge us to "do justice" (Micah 6:8) in church employment. The worship resources, stories, and articles for Disability Inclusion Sunday, May 28 come to us out of the lived experience of writers with disabilities. They confront issues and give practical ideas for churches that dare to call persons with disabilities for ordained or non-ordained positions.
