Abstract
SUMMARY The Christian Reformed Church is presented as a „for” model inclusion of people with disabilities in relation to both society's legislative responses to disability rights culminating in the ADA and the denomination's efforts to include people with disabilities in its religious life. The denomination's decision to „conform” to the ADA is to be located in its theology and its position with respect to social location as an immigrant church with Calvinist leanings. The response of New Hope Church in Atlanta is critiqued as a „test case” of the CRC's ADA policy which indicates mixed compliance. However, the CRC is affirmed as a pattern for other denominations to follow.
