Are kids with disabilities more welcome at the Cavs’ victory parade than at church?
I found myself thinking that on any given Sunday, most churches wouldn’t use the opportunity of their worship celebrations to intentionally welcome kids with disabilities and their families or to publicly acknowledge their value.
