Welcoming Every Body: Accessibility in Church

Weston Morris, current Episcopal Service Corps member in the Episcopal Church in Colorado (and Kanuga retreat leader and Camp Stevens staff person) wrote this reflection on their work in disability justice:

Accessibility is not just a physical issue, however; accessibility has spiritual, emotional, and cultural aspects as well — aspects that our churches have yet to adequately face. People with disabilities are major players in the narrative of Jesus, but our theology on those characters is lacking, focusing far too much on the attitude of the disabled and too little on the responsibility of communities to support them.
