Time and Eternity

I’m a Christian, I’m a Mennonite, and I’m concerned about doing things that will last for eternity. My primary concern is how we as a Christian church include or don’t include persons with disabilities into our fellowship. I believe as a Christian, and the broader faith community as well…Judiasm, Islam, Buddhism, should be a light for the rest of the world to see how we as the faith community do this. My quest to understand this emerges out of my life and thought after working 30 years in the field of disabilities. I have come to believe that the individuals who we call the most severely disabled, are the ones who are the most spiritually profound. They could care less about our different faith traditions, but simply ask the questions…”are you kind?” and “will you spend time with me?”...and dear people, is this not what the heart of our faith traditions are?
