John Swinton, theologian and founding director of Aberdeen’s Centre for Spirituality, Health, and Disability, writes about the importance of engaging with someone to develop a thick rather than a thin description of the person. Learning about a person’s history, their daily life, and what they enjoy helps us develop more authentic friendships.

The Access Leadership Network invites you on a journey to get to know three people with different types of disabilities (physical, mental, & intellectual). Through the panel discussion moderated by Bishop Martyn Minns, we seek to facilitate a thicker and more wholistic view of each person. Join us on Monday, February 17 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm CT (7:00 - 8:00 ET) for an opportunity to grow and be encouraged to build friendships with people in your church and community who live lives impacted by disability.
