THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 7–8 P.M., via Zoom
Canon for Intergenerational Ministries Wendy Claire Barrie and Vestry member Alexandra Thompson invite you to consider joining a short-term Task Force on Accessibility. We expect this work to take place from November 2024 to March 2025. The task force will identify short term, medium term, and long term actions and opportunities to improve the physical campus and worship and ministry experience with regard to physical abilities, neurodiversity, and people with cognitive disabilities. We anticipate most work will be done in small groups or by doing some research on your own and reporting back to the subgroup or task force.
Our 2024 Strategic Plan calls us to Cultivate Diverse Community. With this task force, we want to be able to answer how we are actively seeking and nurturing diverse community through the words we use, the spaces we inhabit, and the ways we gather; and we want to arrive at those answers through listening, connection, and collaboration.
Zoom link will follow soon. If you would like to get involved, or having any questions or comments, email: wbarrie@saintmarks.org or alexandra.thompson62@yahoo.com

I am happy to join the 2024 Accessibility Task Force. I am a rehabilitation case manager by training and experience, so I have dealt with the issues faced by people with disabilities. I have spoken and written about the topic of accessibility, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for a range for historically under-served communities and individuals. I applaud Saint Mark’s for focusing on this initiative!
