Session 1 – Grounded in Belonging: Theology of Accessibility and Inclusion

Monday, October 19, 2026 7:00 p.m. ET on Zoom.  Register here: https://bit.ly/ShopTalkOct26

Accessibility is more than ramps, captions, and technology. It begins with our understanding of belonging, community, and the image of God in every person. Join us as we explore how theology shapes our decisions and actions around ability, accessibility, and inclusion in online, hybrid, and in-person worship. Whether you are clergy, lay leader, worship planner, tech volunteer, or congregational leader, this conversation will offer both inspiration and practical insights.

Featuring: The Rev. Canon Maggie Helwig

Together we will consider:

• How faith communities understand disability, belonging, and participation
• The theological foundations of accessibility and inclusion
• How theology can inform practical decisions in worship and congregational life
• Ways to create communities where everyone can fully participate
