Abstract

"Given the multitude of individual and systemic variables that are operating, any discussion of disability in the Church requires deep listening and heroic humility. Even brief experience informs us of disabilities that are easily perceived, and disabilities that would be unnoticed by those passing by.

"All our communities require the presence and participation of all our members in order to be most vital and effective. Our faith compels us to make sure every voice is heard. 'The love of Christ constrains us.'"
