A common theme of the day was the celebration that we are all inter-dependent with each other.  Church and society is stronger when disabled people and non-disabled people contribute their gifts together.  This was demonstrated by many presenters speaking from personal experience of disability.

Through the Roof joined other disability ministries as part of the Churches for All network, along with Premier Christian Radio, to organise the one-day conference.  One delegate commented,  “It was probably the most positive and affirming event I’ve ever been to in my life”, and another said, “It really fired me up to do more in my church”.

Content from the event will soon be available from churchesforall.org in audio and text format and a forum on disability theology is being initiated.  Contact us for further details

Through the Roof were exhibitors at the

2010 Faithworks conference where we met lots of new people who had not previously heard of our work.  We were particularly promoting our new website and the free resources for churches.

Next we’ll be at

Mind and Soul ‘The Beautiful Mind’ conference -  Holy Trinity Brompton, London SW7 1JA on Friday 26th March.  More details and booking information from Mind and Soul (Please note, booking is online only, and the event is almost fully booked).

After that, we’re at

Christian Resources Exhibition, 11th – 14th May at Sandown Park, Esher, as part of a new ‘Churches for All’ disability zone.  We will be situated in a different area to usual, to the left of the main entrance, on stand T12, sharing the area with other disability ministries and providing new resources, interactive seminars and presentations.

7th October 2010 is a date for Ministers, church leaders and Youth Pastors to put in the diary.  Through the Roof and Churches for All partners are planning a disability conference in Central London.  Look out for further information soon.
