Disability and Faith Communities

How can congregations become places of radical welcome for persons with disabilities and their families? On the weekend of May 31st the Anabaptist Study Center/North Suburban Mennonite church will be exploring this question as we host Christine Guth, the program director for Anabaptist Disabilities Network. We invite you to join us!
