Disability and Inclusive Communities intends to help readers learn how to build Communities that fully include people with disabilities.
For when we do that, all of us are better off..
We need good social practices to make our Communities more inclusive.
Good intentions aren\'t enough.
But our Communities become better places for everyone when we pursue policies and practices of inclusion.
We miss out on becoming the Body of Christ in all its fullness.
We miss out on the opportunity to learn from complex, complete human beings who experience life in different ways.
Our communities--from our churches to our schools to our workplaces--are worse off when we exclude those with disabilities.
But they are also bad for our Communities as a whole.
These practices hurt those whom we exclude.
Often our social practices unintentionally exclude those with disabilities by making it difficult for them to fully participate in the community.
