(Still) Calling from the Edge

 

(Still) Calling from the Edge is on Saturday 16 October. It's our 10th annual conference on Disability & Church. Fiona MacMillan is giving the keynote talk and will share something of our story, learnings and where we are now.

Since 2012 these conferences have held space for disabled people to gather, to resource each other and the church. They are uniquely for rather than about disabled people, who are a majority of planners, speakers and delegates. It's a partnership with St Martin-in-the-Fields and Inclusive Church, hosted online by HeartEdge.

This conference will explore call as challenge, lament and vocation. Through art, music, story and theology, in plenary talks, small groups, workshops and liturgy. It's a cry for justice that marks a milestone: 10 years of calling from the edge.

Programme includes:

• Storytellers - Sarah Davies & Jemma Brown
• Keynote talk - Calling from the Edge - Fiona MacMillan
• Workshops:
• Reclaiming the Margins - Liberation theology - Hannah Lewis
• Vocation from the Edge- Tim Goode & Tim Rourke
• Out of the Deep - Hymn- & chant-writing on a theme of lament - Rev Professor June Boyce-Tillman & Rachel Noel
• Challenging Power - Krysia Waldock & Dan Barnes-Davies
• Called to the Feast - Art workshop imagining an inclusive Last Supper - Jonathan Evens
• Liturgy led by Emily Richardson
• and Godly Play with Sam Wells

We prioritise the voices of disabled people because they are rarely heard in church contexts, but warmly welcome family members, supporters and those with an interest in disability.
