"Beginning today, Joni and Friends will be initiating a month-long conversation on the website of The Lausanne Movement – an organization dedicated to international evangelization – focusing on evangelism to people with disabilities. The Global Conversation Project is designed to spur the local church into action and to emphasize selected portions of the Cape Town Commitment, which resulted from the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2010.
“We at Joni
and Friends are passionate about taking the Gospel to people with disabilities,
and we want to highlight the section of the Cape Town Commitment called
‘Christ’s Peace for People with Disabilities’ during this month,” said ministry
founder and CEO Joni Eareckson Tada, who has for many years served as senior
associate on disability concerns for the Lausanne Movement."
"The Global
Conversation Project is designed to get Christians all over the world involved
in discussion on issues that require a global response. Conversations are
conducted in eight different languages so that individuals from many nations
can be involved. This week’s focus is “A Culture of Life Ethic“ featuring Joni
Eareckson Tada’s acceptance speech, “Sanctity of
Life and Disability,” which she gave upon receiving the Wilberforce Award at the Wilberforce
Forum on March 30. Following Joni's speech are two response articles by Dr. Kathy
McReynolds, Director of Academic Studies for the Joni and Friends Christian
Institute on Disability, and Dr. Rick
Langer, Biola University’s Talbot School of Theology professor with a focus
on the integration of faith and learning. Sign up for a free account to
get involved and enter the global conversation and involve all your
“friends” and “followers” on social media!"
