Light shows in churches.
Silent discos in churches.
Helter Skelters in churches.

Thousands of people experiencing the might & majesty of the triune God in light and sound and space. The creator God delights in the creativity of God’s people.

I was an ableist asshole when I first became a teacher. Because that’s what I was taught! In my defense, academic institutions told me a strict attendance policy was required. What changed my perspective & my assessment criteria? Disabled students 🧵

[Connor Scott-Gardner @ConnorScottG]

The @OpenUniversity does a small thing that makes a huge difference to me as a disabled student. They include an accessibility guide that is specific to each module. 1/
