Learning disabilities 2018

How do you create a community of belonging for those with learning disabilities in your church or community? This conference looks to share good practice between those who are creating communities of belonging.

This fun and innovative conference provided foundational resources and offered the chance to share celebratory stories from those worshipping in communities of belonging.

People of all abilities gathered for the day to participate in a variety of interactive workshops, attend all-inclusive worship, and to share stories of their faith experiences.

This event is the culmination of the Learning Disabilities Working Group's work over the last few years in creating a suite of resources designed to equip congregations at whatever point they are at in their journey, be it reflecting, creating, being, or celebrating communities of belonging.
