26 May 2005 "Becoming an Inclusive Church"

"Reaching out to your community to include disabled people in the life of your church," led by Paul Dicken of Through the Roof.

With 10 million disabled people in the UK (2001 Census), why are they so absent from our churches? Paul Dicken, director of Through the Roof, the UK's leading Christian disability organisation serving churches, shows how to reach disabled people, how to meet their needs in your church and how the Disability Discrimination Act is a positive opportunity for mission. This practical workshop will get you buzzing with ideas on meeting the needs of what is described as the 'last unreached people-group in the western world'.

Lunch is provided (donation £3), so booking is necessary. To book, or for more information, phone 0117 924 5001 or email admin@bcan.org.uk.
