[Faith-talk] Advocacy

[Linda Mentink]

Yes, I know Peter, but I was only asked by David Hyde about 
getting materials from him, and that was earlier this summer.

We're not sending NFB heads because we don't know about the 
situation.  Contact the national

office yourself, and have Peter do it as well.----- Original

Your story really saddens me but I know you're not alone.  My 
boyfriend had many of the similar struggles.  He kept looking 
until he found one truly welcomeing.  We've had more trouble with 
baptist & nondenominational churches than mainline ones.  We are 
busy through our ELCA (lutheran) church Trinity than anywhere 
else.

Rural areas don't have this opportunity.  I pray for all in this 
situation.  At least lots of devotionals come in alternatives.
I know a blind pastor who can't get a full time position because 
the leaders of the Synod (like a catholic diocese) decided he 
couldn't because he is blind.  Makes me angry that all they let 
him do is short term stuff.  My church has stairs and that is the 
only reason they wouldn't let him apply! You might know him 
Linda.  Peter Heide? Why aren't we sending nfb heads to church 
officials? We are fighting other non profits for job 
accommodation and understanding.
