The attached post is from a guy who appears to be trying to make various
religious ceremonies more accessible to the disABLED community. Since
he posted it in a rather obscure place, I am reposting it here, if
anyone is interested. I take no position on the subject of his post.
I do suggest that his questionnaire needs some work.

Sez me,

W. K. (Bill) Gorman

KD>I posted a questionnaire previous to this one. Since I received only one
KD>response I have decided to revamp the questions. The questions are now more
KD>general in nature.

KD>Questions:
KD>1) Are you disabled in any way? Or do you have any disabled members in the
KD>coven/pagan group you are in?
KD>2) What is the nature of your/thier disability?
KD>3) What steps have you/they taken to become more active within the group?
KD>4) Can you give any ideas/comments to help those who may be disabled and wish
KD>to become more fully participatory in group activities (ceremonies,rituals,
KD>etc)?
KD>5) (related to 4) What major obstacles do you see for someone with a
KD>disability in fully participating? Give disability and ceremony,ritual,etc.

KD>All responses will be acknowledged and thanks in advance.
