The NSW Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia is committed to policies which empower people with disabilities to enter fully into the life of the nation. These include policies which ensure that the voice of people with disabilities is heard, and that they receive the support and financial resources they need to fully participate in society, share its benefits and obligations, and live as independently as possible in the community.

 Recognising All Members: The Place of People with Disabilities in the Uniting Church (100.8 kb)
Published in the Journal of Religion, Disability and Health Vol.8, No.1-2, 2004. In this article we present a case study related to the NSW Synod of the Uniting Church in Australia. We look at the gap between the official theology of the church and its policy and practice, compare this to the church’s approach to other groups who have experienced barriers to church participation and outline a project which is attempting to move the church forward to a more appropriate praxis.
