In this week's episode, Carol speaks to Emma Major. In this episode Carol and Emma speak about the Raise word Accept.  Emma's Poem I always felt hopeless Useless. Less than. A failure I always thought God Didn't really like me That noone really liked me And that deep down inside I was damaged and dirty Then God reminded me That I'm worthy and lovely I'm never on my own God is with me I can now open my memory Safely It's ok to rant To release the pain healthily Now at last I accept the truth That I am good enough To be loved Completely As me I've accepted me  Acceptance (Carol's poem for Emma) A song, a dance around something that may be difficult A challenge, a moment that you didn't expect and yet must accept.  Be creative; thing wide, think high, think strong, It won't be long until something clicks, something in the mix that makes you think Yeah I can accept this. This is part of who I am for now.

Episode 6: Accept with Emma Major (Season 2)

This Sunday's show features Emma Major speaking about her experience of being called by God to create the book 'Little Guy'. Emma says she can't see well enough to see her own drawings but they flowed out her in a complete download of inspiration! Last year, Emma appeared on Grayson Perry's Art Club when he heard about 'Little Guy'!

On this week’s podcast, Emma Major, a licensed lay pioneer minister at St Nicolas’s, Earley, in Oxford diocese, offers advice on how the Church can better include disabled people. She reads from an article that she wrote, which is published on our website: Isolation and the Church: online and offline.She says: “Of course, in a few weeks’ time, the first phase of lockdown may be eased and most church buildings open up again. I wonder what will happen, if so. Will online church provisions stop? How will this affect those who have to continue shielding themselves? Will churches stream the services from their buildings? How will those at home be included in worship and leadership and encouraged in their calling?“Will churches realise the importance of including everyone who has been excluded from physical churches until now? How will that look? Perhaps hearing my experience will help you to understand what I mean.”
