Luke14
Luke14 is a CBM initiative that helps churches become a place of welcome and belonging for people and families living with disability. They have produced a guide, Anglican Churches Engaging with People Living with Disabilities [PDF].
The inspiration for this initiative comes from Luke 14. Jesus tells the story of a generous host who invited people from all walks of life to a special dinner party. No one was to be left behind. The story reminds us to never exclude anyone including the marginalised, invisible and often forgotten people in our society.
