[blindlaw] The ADA and Church's

[RJ Sandefur]

Dear list, I have a question. Are church's required to follow the Americans with disabilities act of 1990? Here's the situation. I applied to a Southern Baptist church in my area because they are in need of a Senior pastor. I was honest and informed the church I was blind, and that my orentation and mobility instructor would orent me to the church. The Pulpit comittie denied my application based on my blindness. I'd told the church, I had a driver, and that I had Jaws in order to due office work on the computer. RJ
