ACCESSIBILITY COMMITTEE

"What a shame it is that there is anything in churches that shuts anyone out! For what is a church but dreams and hopes and yearnings? And what is worship but the longing of the lonely human heart? . . . Which of us dares say to another,'This is my church but it cannot be your church; the longing in your heart is not the longing in mine; the need you have is not the same as my need . . .?' "  
             A. Powell Davies
The Accessibility Committee has the following goals:

• To be a resource concerning accessibility needs and policies for other groups within UUCE, such as the Facilities Council, Membership and Social Justice Committees, and Religious Education;

• To provide a way for people with disabilities within our congregation to network and receive support from each other;

• To be an educational resource;

• To liaise with other accessibility groups locally and within the UUA.

Committee meetings are open to all members and friends of UUCE. The committee meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month at 7 pm in the church sanctuary.
