June 11, ELCA Churchwide Organization (CWO) Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Learning Day!
The ELCA churchwide organization will host a learning day for CWO staff highlighting ministries that reach historically underrepresented groups in church and society.
The day will feature 55-minute workshops, presented by churchwide staff and ELCA affiliated organization. Colleagues will select topics related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accountability. The goal is to:
- Highlight diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA)
- Strengthen how we live these commitments within the churchwide organization
- Deepen our relationship with underrepresented communities in church and society
Rev. Lisa Heffernan will be presenting on behalf of ELCA Disability Ministries from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Read below for details, and we hope to see many of our CWO friends and colleagues on June 11th!
ELCA Disability Ministries: Community Building Across the CWO Through Inclusion and Belonging
Come and learn more about ELCA Disabilities, and the ways this ministry impacts, informs, and helps shape our faith and work communities. At this workshop, you will also learn a bit about models of disability, appropriate use of inclusive language, and how disabled and non-disabled CWO colleagues can more equitably serve together to build fruitful relationships across our ministries.
