Welcome to my home page.  The overall focus of this page is the Christian church and persons with various disabilities.  My personal interest is in disability ministry, in particular to adults with intellectual disabilities.  My wife Kathi and I have been involved in ministry to this group for nearly 30 years.

 

There is much room for the Christian church to grow in disability ministry and it is my prayer that it will do so.  Below you will see links to my weblog, Disabled Christianity, NACSPED an organization I helped to found, and lessons we use in our church program that includes adults with intellectual disabilities called the Light and Power Company.

 

I appreciate your visit to this web site and hope you will find some useful information here.  Feel free to send me an email should you have any questions or comments.

 

I am pictured (on the left) with my friend Rev. Dan'l Markham Managing Director of Field services for the Joni and Friends Organization as we were preparing to go to the first meeting of the European 

Society on Theology and Disability, held in Holland this past August of 2007.
