Beloved as We Are – Building a Congregational Culture of Disability Inclusion

This service is an introduction to a newly published book co-authored by Rev. Barbara Meyers. In Beloved as We Are, community minister and mental health advocate Barbara F. Meyers and disability justice activist Shelly Rohe invite members of liberal religious congregations into the ongoing work of creating accessible and inclusive communities for disabled people and their loved ones. The book brings to the forefront the experiences of disabled people in Unitarian Universalist communities through personal stories, revealing both moments of healing and belonging and the emotional and spiritual harm caused by exclusion, insufficient accommodations, and ableism.
