Hi Marda: couldnt help but notice your message. I think the major
problem regarding churches is that many of their congregations, and
unfortunately, especially ministers, consider blind persons not to be
a very gooed investment. Many seem to think that if one is blind he
or she would be unable to contribute to the church financially.
That's a rather sad commentary on churches, but often it surely seems
that way. As for me, I got lucky in the last six years. Found
aminister who happens to like computers. He sends me the church
bulletin every week, and I run it through my braille translation
program and print it out in braille.though I have never felt left out
because I happen to sing in church choire, I certainly feel like a
more active participant with the braille bulletin in front of me.
Hope I haven't interrupted anything Marda, thanks for letting me
share my thoughts on this subject.
