During the past year, the Uniting Church in Australia, Synod of Victoria and Tasmania, with support from the State Government of Victoria's Office for Disability, has undertaken a research project to investigate the experiences of people with disabilities and faith leaders. Participants offered their input from Buddhist, Christian, Jewish and Muslim perspectives. A report including an Easy English version and DVD of the same title are now available at the Multifaith Disability Project blog. These resources were officially launched by Dr Lorna Hallahan, Deputy Chair National People with Disabilities and Carer Council. Lorna's talk can also be heard on the Multifaith Disability Project blog.
The report and DVD contributes to the push for people with disabilities to assume their rightful place in their preferred worship/social context.
