CHURCH AND SOCIETY

Disability Awareness Conference

The second 'All One in Christ' Conference was held on Saturday 18th October 2008 at St Joseph's, Wrexham. The keynote speaker was Martin Cowden from the L'Arche Community in Liverpool. He spoke of his fascination with the high jump, to which he compared "living the challenge" of Jesus' command to "love one another". He spoke from his experience of living in community with people with learning disabilities.
