1 Corinthians 3:9, “For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.”
Congratulations to the 2022 Innovation Grant recipient, Anabaptist Disabilities Network. An Anabaptist membership curriculum will be created for youth and adults with intellectual disabilities. The curriculum will include a teacher’s book and a student book. The teacher’s book will include a theological discussion of baptism and belonging in the Anabaptist church, including a discussion of alternatives when baptism does not seem like the right choice in cases where a declaration of intent is not clear. The student book will be written at a third grade level but with content that is appropriate for adults.
