Anabaptist Disabilities Network

The latest issue of Connections explores the relationship of children and nature. The book Naturally Inclusive by Ruth Wilson offers great resources for parents and educators to help children of all abilities connect to the natural world.

Dr. Lamar Hardwick, "The Autism Pastor," has passed into the next life. We are grateful for the legacy of his good work and faithful witness. Please continue to pray for his family. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17TyZ5pKpg/

Many of you will remember Dr. Lamar Hardwick's equipping session and dinner event at the 2025 Church of the Brethren Annual Conference -- and his book, How Ableism Fuels Racism: Dismantling the Hierarchy of Bodies in the Church. We are grateful for the gift of his writing and public speaking on the intersection of racism and ableism.

Dr. Hardwick has been public on social media about his journey with colon cancer. His wife, Isabella, posted the news today that he has entered hospice care, requesting prayer for him and for their family. We hope that you will join us in praying for them all to know God's peace and comfort in this time.
