Disability and Inclusion in the Faith Community - Photographs and Discussion Material by Jane StraussThe images upon which these books are based all were captured in the Jewish community in a particular locale and moment in time. Disability is no respecter of belief, so the additional materials provided in this Discussion Guide span the three major faith communities in the United States – Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. Jane Strauss researched the materials with the assistance of members of all three communities, because she strongly believes that the images presented here speak to, and will be useful for, a wide range of institutions and organizations, not just those following Jewish life pathways. Jane Strauss attempted to provide enough materials that the coordinators/leaders may pick and choose those most appropriate to their situations, or perhaps use them all, as an additional means of teaching participants about diversity as represented in the 21st Centuryhttp://www.a-part-or-apart.com |
