[nfbwatlk] What is Faith Talk

[Philip Blackmer]

It has settled down recently and while there is little talk about blindness
issues it seems that the major problems have either been resolved or people
finally agreed to disagree.  I for one am a little disappointed that they
don't talk more about ministries that serve the disabled and things that
churches could do to serve us better.  On the other hand I am on that list
am not doing anything about it.  So I guess I have nothing to complain about
in that regard. *smile* - Philip

Hi,
I thought it had a good place to be and it was meant to be
nondenominational, like not just Christian but any type of faith
organization where blind people needed help with discrimination issues.  I'm
sorry to hear that it is no longer the open-minded group it was meant to be.
I wonder why someone isn't doing something about the misleading direction
the group has gone.
Thanks
Lauren
