I would like to introduce you to Topher Endress, Minister of Education at University Christian Church in Austin. It has been a blessing to get to know him through the Joni and Friends meetings I lead each month. Topher has such a supportive and compassionate heart for people, but I have been particularly impressed by his commitment to support people affected by disabilities. If you ever need a great speaker on the "Theology of Disabilities," I would encourage you to invite him. He not only holds your attention, but he expands your understanding of what it means to be created in the image of God.
I recently discovered one of Topher's hidden treasures, his videos on inclusivity in the church. I think you will find them thought provoking in such a way that it will broaden your perspective. The videos would be great to share with your congregation and ministry teams. I have posted one of the videos for you but you can find additional clips on YouTube under Topher Endress.
I hope you will find ways to include this great resource in your ministry area.
