Disability And Accessibility

Barrier-free belonging (extracts from Lincoln Diocese)

We yearn for a Church that puts equality of participation at the very heart of worship and service. 

Sometimes, the structure of our physical buildings and some elements or varieties of worship can prevent people from being able to fully immerse themselves in the experience of glorifying God alongside others.  

Those who struggle with mobility, have failing hearing or sight, have mental or learning difficulties, those who are neurodiverse, and those who have a range of the other difficulties, can be discouraged and begin to believe they can never belong as part of a church and/or its community.

This needs to change.
