Neurodiversity and Worship: A Practical and Liturgical Theology

This significant event, on Saturday 17 October, 2pm-4pm, in the Walpole Hall (St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral), will be led by Dr Léon Van Ommen, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Divinity and Religious Studies and Co-Director of the Centre for Autism and Theology at Aberdeen University. “What if our worship could bring us even closer to God and to each other? What if our communities could be blessed even more? By listening deeply to neurodivergent people, we can. And yet, so often neurodivergent people feel it is difficult to be in the worship space or take part in the life of the community. In this workshop, we will listen deeply, in order to worship more faithfully and to be blessed richly. Whether you have a specific role in your church or none at all, everyone is welcome!” Please put the date in your diary now – booking details available later (£5 charge to cover costs).
