The LSA Disability Network held its second One God One Call: One People Together Conference of the year last week in Philadelphia. More than 100 people with disabilities, families, caregivers, service providers, congregations and advocates joined together to promote opportunities for inclusive ministries for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism and mental
health. 

The conference opened with actor Chris Burke and his band and included plenary sessions, devotions and workshops on a broad range of topics including physical, programmatic and worship accessibility issues, mental health and spirituality, autism, disability and aging, faith and action and much more. In
addition, LSA-DN had a videographer present to capture video advocacy stories
from attendees, talking about the importance of Medicaid and service for people
living in the community.
