Deep & Wide: A Conference on Ecclesial Engagement with Disability Across Canada

A Deeper Communion is an annual conference. This year, we will explore the width and depth of ecclesial engagement with disability across the nation. Friday night will feature scholarly exploration of theology, disability, and the church. Saturday will offer a blend of practical workshops, presentations, and insights from prominent Canadian authors who embody authentic leadership in the exploration of a more inclusive and responsive church.

In addition, we will have workshops of practical importance and TEDD talks featuring diverse perspectives from the disability community. It will be held in three cities: Calgary, Hamilton, and Vancouver. We hope you’ll join us! Find out more at https://mcmasterdivinity.ca/deepandwide/.
