The church must embrace radical inclusion of children with disabilities to address their spiritual needs. Historically marginalized, these children and their families often feel excluded. "Radical inclusion" calls for a reform of children’s programs, services, and ministries that moves beyond accommodation to valuing each child’s participation in the body of Christ. There is a gap in understanding the spirituality of children with disabilities. By understanding these children's unique gifts, capabilities, and spiritualities, the body of Christ can learn to see and value them as full members. By centering their experiences, the church can deepen its understanding and create a more inclusive and enriching spiritual community.
