Abstract

There are still a significant number of people with disabilities who remain beyond the Church’s evangelical reach, and there is still a large gap between able-bodied and disabled people in terms of participation in the community of the Church. The aim of this article is to answer the following questions: What is an active Church? Who should be the initiator of change, activity, and inclusion in the idea of an active Church? The article proposes an original concept of an active Church (KAK), which is an answer to the above questions. KAK was created on the basis of the experiences of surveyed people with disabilities and their caregivers (qualitative research) and ministers (quantitative research). KAK points to three entities responsible for the active participation of people with disabilities in the Church to meet the assumptions of experienced belonging.
