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.
