Quotes by Lamar Hardwick (?)

“Ministry to the disability community is often an afterthought because for years we have been building our churches backward.”
― Lamar Hardwick, Disability and the Church: A Vision for Diversity and Inclusion

“The diversity discussion begins by asking questions about who’s missing from our communities, our classrooms, our boardrooms, and most importantly our churches. Next, we need to ask, where are they?”
― Lamar Hardwick, Disability and the Church: A Vision for Diversity and Inclusion

“families impacted by autism are nearly 84 percent more likely to never attend religious services due to a felt lack of inclusion. Similar studies report that 46 percent of families impacted by disability have never been asked how their child and family could be included in the life of the church.”
