Shut In Shut Out Shut Up 3.3
Ableism, Faith & Church

with Fiona MacMillan

Ableism is discrimination and social prejudice against disabled people. Like racism and sexism, it classifies entire groups of people as ‘less than’. This 3rd series of Shut In Shut Out Shut Up explores ableism, faith & church across context, culture and practice.

Since 2012 the Living Edge conference has held space for disabled and neurodivergent people to gather, to resource each other and the church. These HeartEdge events share some of this experience, providing new space to ask challenging questions. Come and join the conversation with Fiona MacMillan and Rev Dr Hannah Lewis and Dr Rachel Holdforth (Practice).
