People are realizing that people with disabilities have gifts and strengths they can share with the church community and make it more fully alive, Nisich says.

"I would hope the church, of all places, would be the first place that would welcome a person with a disability," she says.

The article was probably by spurred by this Opening Hearts, Minds and Doors to People with Disabilities event.
