"Love Thy Neighbor" Sabbath Celebration

Harriet Wiegel passed me this story of what looks to be a great event about awareness of the inclusion of persons with disabilities in religion organizaions and I wanted to pass it on. The article is available online (registration required). For those of you who don't want to register, here is an excerpt from the article:

The nondenominational event focuses on unity in faith, honors people with disabilities and their advocates, and encourages churches to include those with disabilities in outreach and ministry plans.

"This is a God thing," said Harriet Weigel, event chairwoman. "It is not about fund-raising, religious affiliation or politics. We want to see congregation members with disabilities included as leaders, and serving as greeters, deacons and everything in between in their house of worship."
