Dear Faith talk list participants:
Linda Mentink has informed me that there has been problems with 
churches not accepting blind people and churches asking that blind 
people be treated as second class citizens. Such treatment by 
churches is deplorable and unconscionable.  Where such situations 
exist, we must work to resolve them amicably if we can, and by other 
means if we must.  Please feel free to contact me if you are having 
problems with any church or other religious organization.  My email 
address is <mailto:tanderson at cocenter.org>tanderson at cocenter.org. My 
work phone number is (303) 778-1130 extension 220.  My home number 
after business hours is (303) 794-5006.
Cordially,
Tom Anderson, President,
National Association of the blind in Communities of Faith
