Disability And The Church
Disability and the Church is a podcast aiming to equip us to truly be inclusive and welcoming to all. I, Emily, Disability Advisor for the Diocese of Leicester, wanted a space where we can chat about all kinds of different areas in disability inclusion and how they might translate to our church settings. I hope it is a friendly and fun place for us to learn new things and challenge ourselves! If you have a topic or discussion you'd love to hear happen then get in touch: emily.williams@leccofe.org Follow me on twitter to join the discussion: @mrsemwilliams
