[Faith-talk] washington seminar

[Ashley Bramlett]

yes, the civil rights movement stemmed from faith beliefs.
Christians have no rights? Oh my.
Where are you hearing these things? This is the first I've heard this one 
and I know many types of christians.

I have heard that as Christians we have no rights, but yet in the Civil 
Rights movement, so much, at least in the beginning was faith based.  And 
there are wonderful examples of Christians who were willing to stand up and 
be counted as standing for the rights of others.  And even now, there are 
certainly Christians who get involved with political groups because of 
abortion, etc.  But why is it that when Christians with disabilities want to 
make things better for tmemselves and other folks with disabilities, it is 
so often viewed as wrong.  I don't quite get that.  It just seems like there 
is a double standard.    Blessings,    Debby
