The exhibit hall at General Convention is a hub of activity. Here, you can buy lunch, sample Bishop's Blend coffee from Episcopal Relief and Development, or pick up buttons to express your opinions: "STR8 ALLY" from Integrity, indicating you may be straight, but you support your LGBT brothers and sisters; "Re-Imagine GC," a call to re-examine and re-envision the governing structures of TEC; "Un-Occupy Palestine," "Go & Listen," "Embrace Each Other," "Say yes to Bless" (same-gender relationships). Shop for books, vestments, icons and jewelry. Learn about Education for Ministry (EFM), the Episcopal Public Policy Network (EPPN), or religious orders for women and men. Episcopal Appalachian Ministries has a booth, and so does the Seamen's Church Institute, both ministries supported by St. James'. Some booths are colorful and attractive; some entice you with candy or a free thumb drive or flashlight. But as I rounded the corner on the last row in the rear of the exhibit hall, there was one stark example: The Episcopal Disability Network. It was an empty table with worn boxes already packed up two days before the exhibits closed. This is no judgement on the organization; it illustrates instead the priority the church has put on disability ministry as well as the challenges we face financially as a church. Three years ago, a resolution was approved by General Convention to create a resource for disability ministry: a "toolkit" of resources which congregations could tap into in their quest for accessibility and welcome. This did not happen because no staff resources of TEC were dedicated to it. The sign may say, "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You," but the House of Deputies and the hearing rooms were nearly inaccessible for hard of hearing people. My own committee was exceptionally sensitive to these needs, but the fact remains that is is easy for us, even as Christians who are dedicated to living out our baptismal promises, to be unaware of the special needs of disabled people around us. Sometimes they are not around us in our congregations because they cannot negotiate our stairs or our Episcopal language or because their hearing or sight is limited. Part of our job here at GC2012 is to do all we can to be sure our hearing and our sight are not limited.
