Inclusion & Belonging for Those With Invisible Illnesses in the Church of England

Professional researcher Penny Pullan presents the results of her study into whether people with invisible illnesses and hidden disabilities within the church experience a sense of belonging and inclusion. She explores themes around the challenges of living with a hidden disability or invisible illness while trying to still play a full and active part in the life of the local church. Her respondents testify to whether they feel seen and valued in themselves, for who they are rather than what they do. She will also suggest ways that churches could engage positively with this theme and improve accessibility.
