Faith and
Disability Collaborative Webinar Series:
Fifth Webinar:
Best Practices And Resources For Moving From Inclusion To
Belonging As Contributing, Valued Members Of Faith Communities.
Monday, June 29.
1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time
Inclusion in chosen faith
communities is the first step for individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities and their families. What’s beyond inclusion:
Belonging. As people move from being apart from communities of faith to
being a part of a community, what are creative ways for them to “take part” and
be “given parts” in the life of a congregation. How have congregations begun to
recognize and honor gifts as well as needs in order to provide opportunities
for individuals and families to become contributing members of their chosen
congregation? What impact has that had on the whole congregation?
This webinar
will be moderated by Bill Gaventa, and features Cindy Merten from First
Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, MI, Neil Cudney, Christian Horizons, Canada,
Anne Masters from the Archdiocese of Newark, and Deborah Fisher, Consultant and
former CO of the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes in the Washington, D.C.
area.
