Disability and the Practice of Christian Community

As we encounter people with disabilities, how do Christians move from attitudes of mere inclusion to deeper practices of belonging? How can embracing relationships with the disability community teach the church about God’s nature and purposes?
Join us for lunch, prayer and discussion for this kickoff event hosted by Enable Boston.
Lunch is provided and RSVP is required (see button below).
We would also love for you to join Enable Boston on an ongoing basis as we provide volunteers for children and adults with disabilities and their families as part of our ministry at Park Street Church, supporting their spiritual development and participation in church life activities.

Christian Formation Series: Faithfulness in a Time of Political Upheaval
Five–week series Sundays in October | 9:45 AM & 5:30 PM
How does theology inform our faithful engagement of politics? With increasing politicization and social divisions, Christians find themselves in need of understanding the role of theology and the church in expressing a faithful political presence. This seminar series aims to highlight key features of a Christian theology that informs Christian faithfulness in a time of political upheaval. This series does not endorse any candidates or political parties, but aims to help Christians think theologically. Guest speakers include Vincent Bacote (Wheaton), James Hunter (University of Virginia), and Amy Black (Wheaton). Click below to watch a video of Mark Booker and Michael Balboni discuss this series, which will run throughout Sundays in October. For more information, and to register, follow the links below. All those who are interested, including the international members of our congregation, are encouraged to attend regardless of registration. Though we do encourage you to register as only registrants will receive seminar materials.
