| Summary: | This article aims to identify factors that may be important in the inclusion process of people with disabilities in religious communities. This text was based upon the interviews conducted with 10 respondents who belonged to Christian communities. They were characterised by a diverse approach, and are therefore referred to in this article as spiritual settlers, spiritual pilgrims and spiritual wanderers. These were then associated with theoretical terms such as presence, affiliation and commitment, to analyse the procedures of the respondents' self-reported functioning in these religious communities. |
