[Faith-talk] For Catholics with special needs, a religiouseducation that includes | USCatholic.org

Amen!
linda, I thank you for sharing your opinions and what your church 
believes.  I agree that sometimes the email communication can be 
misinterpreted.  How are we supposed to learn about different doctrines 
and beliefs.  If we just shut down and not share prospective.  Of course I 
may be more of a nerd about learning than most.  Its okay to agree to 
disagree.

Best,
Melissa R. Green And Pj

Congratulations Christine!

Debby i think your point about cultural shifts is very true. Sad, but 
true. I bet Catholics used to stay all the way through mas. Less people 
are staying for coffee hour in other congregations.

Let's stop being defensive here. Nobody is attacking individual faiths. 
Nobody is making personal attacks. We are all sharing personal 
experiences, nothing more and we are asking for help because posters WANT 
to be involved. I pray for all those who don't feel welcome and don't know 
about this list or our facebook page. It hurts my heart that blind people 
are giving up on a relationship with God and His children. Has there been 
a study on how many disabled v. Nondisabled consider themselves religious? 
How many are active v. Not active by choice? Curious. I know more disabled 
that are agnostic or atheist than those that practice any faith.

Let's share resources instead ok?

Thanks to those who have pisted links, apps & specific suggestions for 
specific situations.

If we aren't unified here, how can we expect churches to work with our 
divion?  Christ and the divison's purpise should unite us, not divide.
