Dear Sir
The Christian disability charity, Through The Roof, is looking for disabled people and parents of disabled children to participate in some research. We wondered whether any readers of EN might help us? The research is intended to help to inform churches on how to become fully inclusive communities where disabled Christians can belong and play their full part in the life and leadership of the body of Christ.
The Lausanne Committee for World Evangelisation has identified disabled people as one of the world’s most unreached people groups, with up to 95% never having the opportunity to hear the gospel. Sadly, the picture in the UK is hardly better than anywhere else in the world.
If you would like to contribute to this research as a disabled person or the parent of a disabled child, you can do so by answering the following four questions:
1. What one thing do you wish churches knew? 2. What’s the most important thing your church could do for you / your child? 3. What things do you wish your church would allow you / your child to do for them? 4. What positive benefits does your / your child’s disability add to your / her / his relationship with God?
Answers can be submitted to ros@throughtheroof.org or by post to Ros Bayes, Through the Roof, PO Box 353, Epsom, KT18 5WS.
