Never never never. Just the opposite they are asking how to include braille
in my church and have asked me to sing in the choir and to read during the
service as well. If your church is of that position and belief, tell them
Christ would be disappointed, all who are hungry are welcome at his table.

I personally haven't had this problem, but, Have any of you been told
because of blindness, you couldn't serve in the church? If so, How did you
respond? RJ
