He suffered verbal abuse from his neighbour’s children on a daily basis because of his disability. He was also threatened and has experienced violent behaviour. Fred felt very insecure in his own house and dreaded leaving it. On the few occasions when he did venture out, he had to walk past the local Methodist church on his way to the bus stop. He always wanted to go in, but felt scared about how he might be received. He had tried other churches in the past and had had bad experiences. On one of his trips out he sat at the bus stop and overheard two women talking. They were commenting on the enormous banner almost covering the front of the church which said, “All are welcome.” He decided there and then that he would go back the following Sunday and actually enter the church. At the church there was someone to welcome him and make him feel special. He was invited to sit in the middle of a group who were obviously together. This was the first occasion in a long time when Fred had felt really welcomed and valued.\nMartyna’s story\nMartyna, a lay member of a local Methodist church, feels called into leadership within the church. She has had a number of conversations with fellow church members about the possibility of taking up a leadership role. She is a senior manager in a government department, managing a significant budget and several teams of staff. A number of roles have become available in the last year, but in each case the first Martyna heard of them was when someone else was appointed. The vacancies were not announced during services, and no notices or signs were put up. Individuals were appointed by the existing leadership team. There is a group of around 20 people who have all been members for a long time and are all friends. Leadership roles seem to pass between them with no ‘outsiders’ given the opportunity to join.\nJefferson’s story\nJefferson has been a member of the church council at his church for nearly five years. In all that time he hasn’t felt comfortable speaking during meetings, only doing so when absolutely necessary. The membership of the church generally has a high level of education and most of the council members are educated to at least degree level. Jefferson left school at the age of 16. Despite being a successful tradesman, he has never felt the equal of other members of the council. Discussions and presentations at meetings rely heavily on paperwork presented at the time and Jefferson finds it hard to keep up. When documents are circulated before meetings Jefferson is able to follow without difficulty, but other council members have resisted making this standard practice. Although Jefferson has mentioned it, he feels embarrassed and doesn’t like to talk about it any more because no action has been taken. Compounding this problem, Jefferson has recently undergone training at circuit level. More large documents and dense PowerPoint slides have further knocked his confidence. An added difficulty is that due to the nature of his work it is difficult for Jefferson to guarantee his availability for meetings in advance. This has led to some very rude comments from others in the church, questioning his dedication and commitment.\nAnn’s story\nAnn is a wheelchair user who is an active member of her local church.
