Abstract

Inclusive ministries for and with people with disabilities and their families have grown exponentially in the past two decades. As faith communities creatively work on being fully inclusive, they can adopt a variety of strategies used in nonreligious settings, but also discover and develop their own strategies that can be used elsewhere. As such, congregations have the potential of being models of community inclusion, in ways that witness to their faithfulness while also serendipitously discovering that their initiatives benefit many others in the congregation, as well as the whole of the congregation’s life together.
