A Place for All: Faith and Community For Persons with Disabilities

Nominated for a 2011 Emmy award and selected for a DeRose-Hinkhouse
Memorial Award

It is a startling number. According to the CDC, 1 out of 5 Americans
has at least one disability. How we cope with that disability and how
we deal with other people with disabilities – well, that’s a choice. A
learned response. We need to change attitudes, remove barriers, and
create a truly inclusive community.

A Place for All: Faith and Community for Persons with Disabilities is a
unique interfaith documentary, produced in conjunction with the New
York Board of Rabbis, with the support of an extraordinary range of
faith groups including the National Council of Churches, the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Islamic Society of
North America (ISNA), the United Methodist Church, the United Church of
Christ and the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops.
