Worship as One: Varied Abilities in the Body of Christ Paperback – November 21, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
The “Everyone Welcome” sign outside church buildings too often comes with an invisible asterisk. Children and adults with varied physical, behavioral, intellectual, and socio-emotional abilities and needs are often excluded from the corporate worship conversation with God and the opportunity to live in community among God’s people. Pastors and ministry leaders need a holistic framework for welcoming children and adults of all abilities—an approach that is rooted deeply in theology, applicable within every congregational size, denomination, and context, and practical enough to begin tomorrow.
Barbara J. Newman’s final book is the only resource of its kind that gives leaders the tools to fully include persons with varied abilities into the life of their congregations, demonstrating God’s call for community in 1 Corinthians 12. Introducing the concept of universal design for worship, Barbara combines her extensive background in inclusive education and more than 30 years of experience walking alongside congregations to help churches truly proclaim, “Everyone Welcome”.
