Methodist Church to Launch Disability Justice Strategy

The Methodist Church is to make its buildings and activities welcoming and accessible to all with the help of a new disability justice strategy.

The strategy will be headed by the Methodist Church’s Alison Parker, who will report her findings to the 2007 Methodist Conference.

“Disability Justice is a serious matter,” says Alison, whose work for the project now is part of her three-year work on equalities and diversity. “It can range from simple practical matters such as making church buildings wheelchair accessible through to looking at the way we speak or the things we do and how we are with people.
