The Anglican Disability Summit 2026

Honest, life-giving and inclusive discussion of disabled people with the Church—the Church with disabled people.

For participants other than invited representatives, $800.00 per person. Please email your interest to The Anglican Disability Network Convenor Leo Te Kira on leo.in.napier@gmail.com (There is a small amount of accommodation sponsorship available).

Friday 19 June

A Friday afternoon Pōwhiri-welcome formality will begin our Summit—before four experienced public speakers in physical, sight, hearing and neurodiverse impairment will contribute to the weekend’s Friday afternoon.

Saturday 20 June

The morning will see a theologian who themselves lives with a disability offer his/her ideas, while Saturday afternoon will see a public leader who themselves lives with a disability offer his/her input. All the presenters will be invited to contribute to our Summit panel, “some possible steps from here,“ before the Summit enjoys a Saturday night Hui Taumata dinner and Summit thought-piquing entertainment night.

Sunday 21 June

Sunday morning will see us share Eucharist, then poroporoaki-sharing of final thoughts leading into lunch.
