International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2020
A conversation with Elizabeth Mohler and Reverend Alexa Gilmour
For International Day of Persons with Disabilities we wanted to get churches talking about how to become more affirming of persons with disabilities.
Listen in on a conversation with:
Elizabeth Mohler, disabled queer Christian doing her Ph.D. in disability studies and Rev. Alexa Gilmour, social justice activist and minister at Windermere United Church, Toronto.
As they discuss:
- language of freedom and constraint,
- metaphors of disability in scripture and hymns,
- accessibility of Christian buildings and attitudes,
- and steps congregations can take to provide welcome to persons with disabilities.
