Breaking Through Barriers

Monday June 12 2017

The annual conference of the Scottish Churches Disability Group (SCDG) will focus on positive ways of breaking through barriers which sometimes prevent people with disabilities from full participation in worship and community life in churches.

The conference takes place at Dalziel St Andrew's Church, Motherwell, on September 30. The format will be a series of conversations with people with personal experience of learning disabilities, hearing and sight loss and other disabilities.

Among the contributors are Ivy Blair and Trish Archibald of the Prospects group, who minister to people with learning disabilities; Alex Baird of Dalziel St Andrews who will discuss their outreach to deaf and hard-of-hearing worshippers; and Catherine Morgan of the Torch Trust

Jeremy Balfour MSP, who leads the Scottish Parliament’s Cross Party Group on Disability, will give an opening address. The conference will conclude with the AGM of the SCDG, to which all are invited.

For further information and a booking form, contact SCDG Secretary, Barbara Graham, at Barbara.graham74@btinternet.com or call 01563 522108.
