The Methodist Church is committed to becoming a truly inclusive Church were all are welcome and can participate in the full life of the Church. The support of people living with disability has been one of the central pillars of our diversity and inclusion approached and is integrated within our diversity strategy, ‘Justice, Dignity and Solidarity’. A key component of the strategy was the forming of the ‘Living with Disabilities’ solidarity circle, made up exclusively of Methodist people with lived experience of living with disability. The group informs policy and practice within the Church. The Church has had a longstanding commitment to make our buildings and all its activities welcoming and accessible to all.
