The U.S. Bishops recently issued a statement that said: “When buildings present barriers to the full and active participation of all, the Body of Christ is harmed. Special attention should be given to individuals with visual or hearing impairments, to those who have difficulty walking or who are in wheelchairs, and to the elderly with frailties” (Built of Living Stones: Art, Architecture, and Worship).
This video, produced by the Archdiocese of Louisville, helps those planning new construction or renovation work take seriously this challenge to fully integrate current laws, codes, and ordinances for persons with disabilities into building a church complex accessible to all of God’s people.
