Shut In Shut Out Shut Up: Disability and Church: Intersectionality

Fridays, 4, 11, 18 March, 16:30 GMT. Register at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shut-in-shut-out-shut-up-tickets-275653155007.

Intersectionality is a way of describing how social categories (eg disability, race) combine to create overlapping systems of discrimination or disadvantage. In this 4th series of Shut In, Shut Out, Shut Up we explore the intersectional experience of disability and neurodiversity, gender, mental health, sexuality, race and poverty. What are the key issues in the context of faith? What are our calls to the church?

Since 2012 the Living Edge conference has held space for disabled and neurodivergent people to gather, to resource each other and the church. These HeartEdge events share some of this experience, providing new space to ask challenging questions. Join us for more honest conversations.

Speakers
