Anabaptist Disabilities Network (ADNet) is looking for stories of
church congregations that are providing a congregational network of care
for persons with significant disabilities and/or their families. Such
care may include supporting their church participation, but goes beyond
this to support aspects of daily living needs and/or participation in
the wider community.
ADNet is collecting these stories with the goal of creating a sequel
to their book, Supportive Care in the Congregation, that will tell the
stories of congregations that have implemented something similar to the
vision outlined in the book.
If you know of such a group who
might be willing to share their stories, ADNet would like to know how to
contact them. Stories can be shared anonymously in the book if those
involved wish to protect privacy. Contact ADNet at 574-343-1362 or adnet@adnetonline.org.
ADNet and the Church of the Brethren are partners in providing
support and resources to individuals with disabilities, as well as their
families and congregations.
