In her excellent book: Copious hosting: a theology of access for People with Disabilities, Jennie Weiss Block suggests that, of all places, the church should be a model of the accessible community, a point of entry into God’s love that is reflected both in thinking and in acting. For, as she puts it, “the Body of Christ presumes a place for everyone.” But place is difficult for persons with disabilities. Far too often such people encounter a symbolic, if not palpably concrete, sign that reads,“access denied.”
