“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

INCLUDING CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES: BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER

Including children with disabilities in community and school activities is often a simple matter of innovating to accommodate the child. In this case (see video below) a deaf girl wants to play basketball at school. We see how barriers can be perceived but easily overcome. 
Not only is looking for innovative ways to accommodate children with disabilities an international human right, it is a cultural imperative to try and include all our children in the collective nurture of community life. Brothers and sister in Christ, work for disability inclusion  in your community and wear Christ on your sleeve in all you do.
