Spirituality

We believe that in order to grow we need to nurture the whole person, including our inner selves.

We therefore make time for regular prayer and reflection within community life. Each community member is encouraged to discover and deepen his or her spiritual life and live it according to his or her particular faith and tradition. This spirituality is central to what we do and who we are.

A rich spiritual life is possible for people with disabilities. In fact people with disabilities often have particular spiritual gifts. It is often through weakness, recognized and accepted, that we develop inner freedom and the liberating love of God is revealed.

Core members and assistants arrive in community with a variety of faith backgrounds. We welcome people of all faiths. Those who have no religious affiliation are also welcomed and respected in their freedom of conscience.
