Rewatch: “Stop Talking About Supporting Spirituality. Start Doing Something”

The AAIDD Religion & Spirituality Interest Network is glad to share the recording from our recent coordinated webinar with the Faith and Culture Network.

As part of its lunchtime webinar series, the Faith and Culture Network hosted a conversation designed to raise awareness and share knowledge about how we can better support faith and culture within the Developmental Services sector.

This session brought together members of a collaborative project team from The Centre for Civic Religious Literacy and partner organizations including posAbilities, Kinsight, BACI, and Curiko for a thoughtful conversation about spirituality and wellbeing in the lives of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Together, the presenters explored:

  • why spirituality is too important to ignore
  • what persons with IDD, families, and agencies are saying
  • some of the questions, tensions, and old confusions that still need attention
  • brave, creative, and practical ways to begin

This session shared emerging learning, invited reflection, and pointed toward further possibilities for the Developmental Services sector and faith communities.

If this conversation resonates with you, we encourage you to watch the recording and share it with others who may benefit from it.

We are grateful to the Faith and Culture Network of Ontario and all the partners involved in making this important conversation possible.
