A Story of Welcome

Once, a traveller arrived at a quiet chapel nestled between cultures. The door was heavy, the steps uneven, and the words on the wall too faint to read. Though the chapel was built with love, it had forgotten to ask: Who might be left outside?

So, the community gathered. They widened the doorway, softened the steps, and rewrote the welcome in many tongues. They added rhythm for those who listened with their hands, and silence for those who spoke with their eyes. The chapel became not just a place, but a promise.

This website is our chapel. And accessibility is our promise: that no one is left outside, that every visitor is met with care, and that every page is a gesture of belonging.

Welcome in. You are seen. You are heard. You are home.
