Living Fully 2016

This coming June, a vibrant and transformative symposium and conference, Living Fully 2016: Disability, Culture and Faith – A Celebration, will be held in Rome. Co-patroned by the Pontifical Council for Culture and the Kairos Forum, this conference will: 

• Initiate critical, hospitable conversations around the issue of the experience of disability within context and cultures.
• Explore some of the complex ethical, legal and theological questions that emerge from reflection on this experience.
• Celebrate, share and disseminate good practice.
• Pray, network and celebrate the family in all its diversity, giftedness and potential for the Church and society.
• Develop and present a practically oriented charter for change which can be presented to each participant’s local community, so as to bring about positive and lastly legacy from our joint commitment to fostering communities of belonging for all.
