[nabs-l] having a hard time fitting in at church

[Joshua Lester]

I think this is on topic for the list, because as blind people, it's like that anywhere we are, in public.
I've noticed people that walk in, at my college, and as they come in the door, I greet them, and they won't even say anything back!
It's rude, and condescending, to say the least!
It makes me mad!
Blessings, Joshua

Sawubona, Andrew,

We need to be very careful and cautious in respect to this thread. For one, we need to make darn sure that we don't descend into flame wars and religious commentary when this is a list about students and students' issues. I agree with everyone in this thread, in that these issues are very sad. For Andrew and all, my suggestion is to try to find a church wherein this is not done. I'm not going into religious talk at this time due to the nature of the list, but I agree that God doesn't discriminate, so nor should we.

Sincerely in Christ,

Ben
