[nfbwatlk] blind ministers

[Mary Ellen]

Hi Debbie,
There are a number of Federationists who either are, or have been, ordained
ministers. Bob Eschbach, formerly of Ohio but now living in Arizona, comes
to mind. Frank Lee of Alabama has pastored churches; I don't remember
whether he had one church or alternated his time serving three
congregations. Tom Anderson of Colorado has certainly preached, but I don't
know if he's ordained. You might want to contact the NFB in Communities of
Faith, an NFB division,  to network with others in a position similar to
yours. You can get the address of the division by contacting the national
office.

Hi all, I am in search of people who are blind and who are either 
active ministers or studying for ministry.  They do not have to 
be within a specific denomination but I am working toward 
ordained ministry within the Free Methodist Church.  I am already 
finding that I will have some challenges.  Much of the Free 
Methodist website is in stupid PDF.  We do have a MacBook, which 
reads PDF, but I am sharing the Mac with my husband (who has 
primary custody).  Lol.  I also learn more when I can read things 
in Braille.  Unfortunately Humanware has not made the Apex to be 
able to read PDF, unless there's something I don't know about.  It's been
twenty years since I've been in school.  Everything I 
do will be through individual study, although I do believe there 
is a two-week intense class that I may have to take.  I still 
have to go through the process of being interviewed at the 
Conference level, but was approved at the local level today.  
Thanks for any suggestions folks might have.    Blessings,    
Debby Phillips
