About IDN

People with disabilities comprise 20 percent of the American population, yet they traditionally are not represented within congregations. In fact, a 2000 National Organization on Disability/Harris Survey found that though 84 percent of people with a disability state that their religious faith is important to them, less than half attend a religious service at least once a month.

This is a population that wants to participate in the faith community and hopes to be welcomed by it. Interfaith Disability Network (IDN) recognizes this need and desire and has crafted the tools to encourage this critical outreach.

IDN connects the faith community to the disability community.
IDN connects faith leaders with critical resources to promote change.
IDN connects people with disabilities to faith community membership.
IDN connects questions to answers.
