Description
It is too commonplace for Christians who suffer from impairment to find themselves marginalized within the church. This reality runs counter to the inclination and design of God. Sadly, church leaders have been ill-prepared for a ministry that is cognizant of those with disabilities who are part of their congregation. This problematic oversight creates an ecclesiastical climate where leaders must self-educate on disabilities, disability ministry, and disability-effective leadership.
