Are these Good Ideas?

One Church (Mennonite)denomination in the USA decided to agree by the Americans with Disabilty Act, even through churches were exempt. They have had much success in doing so. So much so that this Mennonite Church is condsidered to be the Gold standard to which measure other churches on access to the disabled

Do you think it would be a Good idea to lobby United Churches and organisations in Ontario to abide by the Accessibilty for Ontarians Act? If so how would that be done?

A Drama of Love

Here is a good story from Christian Educator's Guide to Creating Classes Where Everyone Belongs.

 

"A courageous young couple had adopted a badly abused child. Tommy was 5 but could say only two words, “car” and “bye-bye.” Easter Sunday dawned with all the Sunday school gathered for the annual pageant. Every child would have a line to say.

Access leads to Ability, Barriers Create Disability.

This is the revised home page of Accessible Church. I have change the tone,  after several people pointed out how certain things seemed to them, and how I could say the same things in a less angry sounding tone, I have either revised or removed those sections or pages.

It's a Cafe and Its a Church and It's an Aritst Performance Space

Check out this video. It's about a church the Salation Army has opened in Hamilton to attract people under 35.

Looks like a good idea to me.
