SUMMARY:BWIM Neurodivergent Ministers Affinity Group
DESCRIPTION:If you are a neurodivergent female minister\, you belong here. BWIM’s Neurodivergent Affinity Group is a new monthly space for connection\, shared learning\, and solidarity—open to those with formal diagnoses and those who self-identify. This is a space where you are invited to bring your full self—your experiences\, your questions\, your ways of being. Together\, we’ll honor our experiences and celebrate what it means to be neurodivergent \nRegister today to join us.  https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/NnKLz2SLj45ps6ZEZmUfFg \nThis neurodivergent affinity group is a peer-support community\, not a source of professional medical advice. Group members and facilitators are not acting as medical or mental health professionals. Any experiences\, perspectives\, or resources shared are for mutual encouragement and general information only and should not be considered diagnosis\, treatment\, or medical advice. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding your individual needs. \nFACILITATORS \nMaggie Clark serves as a children’s pastor and professor of ethics and philosophy. She holds a Master of Divinity from Wake Forest University School of Divinity and a Master of Science in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. Maggie brings both lived experience\, with autism and adhd\, and a deep curiosity and compassion to conversations around neurodivergence. As queer disabled woman\, she has spent years learning to navigate spaces and institutions not always designed with her in mind\, including faith communities. That experience has shaped her passion for disability studies and advocacy\, and her commitment to building communities where belonging is practiced\, not just proclaimed. She is particularly interested in partnering with churches and faith communities to become more accessible and genuinely welcoming for people with invisible disabilities\, including clergy. \nNikki Hardeman serves as Director of Advocating for Women in Ministry at BWIM. She holds a Master of Divinity from McAfee School of Theology and has served in a variety of ministry contexts\, including local church ministry\, denominational leadership\, and interim pastoral work. Nikki also brings lived experience to conversations around neurodivergence. Living with ADHD since childhood\, she has spent years learning how to navigate and thrive in a world not always designed for neurodivergent ways of being. Through ongoing reading\, listening\, and learning\, she has developed a thoughtful\, experience-based perspective shaped by curiosity\, adaptation\, and everyday life with ADHD.
