Jesus Used All Five Senses, Why Don't We?

We explore how understanding information processing is crucial for inclusive ministry, focusing on how information gets in, how it's processed, and how it gets out. Drawing insights from Barbara Newman's book "Accessible Gospel, Inclusive Worship," we examine practical approaches to make ministry accessible for people of all abilities.

• Focus on what individuals CAN do rather than just their limitations
• Deliver information through multiple sensory channels for better reception and retention
• Use all five senses when teaching, following Jesus' example with communion
• Provide supportive environments that help with attention and processing
• Create diverse opportunities for people to express and communicate what they've learned
• Accommodate different learning styles to benefit everyone, not just those with disabilities
