Beyond Accessibility: Toward Full Inclusion of People with Disabilities in Faith Communities

by Brett Webb-Mitchell

A church has built an accessibility ramp and perhaps refitted its restrooms to accommodate a wheelchair. Now what? This new resource by a noted author of several books on people with disabilities offers a theological and practical approach for congregations, with clear, targeted strategies for full inclusion of all members, recognizing and using the gifts that each member brings to the congregations life together.
