Making a World of Difference seeks to respond to the agenda being set by disabled people. The slogan 'Nothing about us without us' underlies the changes brought about by the disability movement, with its emphasis on the empowerment of disabled people and the importance of empowerment as an issue of human rights.
Aware that this agenda is often overlooked by the Christian Church, Roy McCloughry and Wayne Morris have written a highly stimulating book to encourage people with little or no formal theological training to reflect on the implications of relating disability to the Christian faith. By featuring a number of case studies, and drawing on a wealth of personal experience, they offer practical advice on what individuals and churches can do to make a difference.
