"Disabled People Say Welcome to Our World"

[davidgillon]

A friend has an article in the Church Times, mostly on the research that went towards their PhD on the church* and how it can be poor at adapting to the disability of churchgoers, but leavened with a little bit of post-PhD "well, we're in a pandemic now, maybe what we have to say on access is worth listening to".

Disabled People Say Welcome to Our World

* Mostly C of E, but also other denominations.

What a good article.

I have often thought that any Christian church that won't provide at least proper wheelchair access shouldn't object if someone cuts a hole in their roof and lowers the wheelchair user down that way. And then leaves the hole there. (Yes, impractical and uncomfortable for the wheelchair user in question, but so textually satisfying.)
