These people should have the same chance to grow their faith as anyone else and we should take the steps that the article suggests to include them. Very good post!<br /><br /><a href="https://decormwa.wordpress.com/2016/11/17/how-technology-is-shaping-revenue-cycle-management/" rel="nofollow">Jason Hayes @ Decorm</a><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165454582253835159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825243.post-8671246513986344392016-11-28T16:46:45.749-08:002016-11-28T16:46:45.749-08:00What I really enjoyed about this article is that a...What I really enjoyed about this article is that as I was doing my church and disabilities project I was able to look back on this article and reflect on it constantly while I asked my questions. I must completely agree to the fact that the article states “But we have been socialized, trained as Christians to think that your family member with a disability is not my responsibility. I will refer you to state agency programs, to church programs, once again which are fine in themselves. However, I make no demands on myself as a brother in Christ to do anything.” This quote was the most powerful one in the article for me because it is completely true, I could help people with disabilities and their families/caregivers by welcoming them into the church community as a Christian but instead I don’t want to bother and I begin to recommend them to different programs to put the “burden” on others. As Christians Christ calls us to love one another Matthew 25:35-40 says For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ So why is it that we don’t follow this, when we help and welcome people with disabilities to our church communities we are welcoming Jesus Christ. So this is why this specific article impacted me, I was able to see the importance of people with disabilities to build relationships with other people who are not a part of their daily caregiving group, the importance of us as Christians to integrate people with disabilities rather than throwing them off to a program as if they were a “charity case”.
