""Dancing with Disabilities is about the ever-changing relationship between two groups...locked like dancers in either a passionate embrace or a dance of separareness, trying to move to the rhythm of the music that one or the other hears."" - from the Introduction Imagine what a church could be if those who are ""disabled"" and those who are ""able-bodied"" were to understand them-selves to be equal partners in the faith community.

It is these persons who put a genuinely human face to ""disabilities"" - and those presence challenges the church to welcome all God's children to their rightful place in the Christian community.
