So let's see, the church says that the mentally challenged need to hear the word of God to be saved yet they choose not to worship along with them. Just more proof that churches are not in the business of saving lives but of carrying out their own agenda. Just ask yourself, do you really want to rely on someone else's interpretation of the Bible for your salvation or do you want to find your own path to God?

It seems that not all churches actually practice what Bible teaches, so in the matter of Developmentally Disabled People, it appears that some pastors must have taken a vote and cancelled out what Jesus preached.
What credibility does a church have when they find no need for a worship service for Developmentally Disabled People and yet say that these same people will be damned if they don't have faith in Jesus. Their only chance for salvation would have been if they were baptised as a baby because to be baptised as an adult would mean a confession of faith.
Many Developmentally Disabled People are unable to understand the sermon unless it is taught at their educational level, which means they are out of luck in the
What about the Developmentally Disabled People in our neighborhoods? Not only them, but what about their family or Caregivers. I attended a Worship Service where there were 17 total people attending and only three or four Developmentally Disabled People. Just think of how many people could be saved for each Developmentally Disabled People in attendance.
There is a need to bring the Gospel to all Developmentally Disabled People.
The President of a Lutheran synod emailed this comment to me in January 2003:
“I'm also sorry that others are not seeing a need for a Jesus Cares worship service in your area. It would seem, in the
Let me add some more...
It is a real challenge to find a church which makes you feel comfortable with a Developmentally Disabled Child. It is only a matter of time before a new pastor comes along and WHAM, the welcome mat gets pulled out from under your feet.
It has been a while since I have taken my autistic son to church. Why? It seems that he is in the habit of sitting on the “porcelain throne” most of the service.
I need to keep an eye on him so he does not wander around the building and get into trouble. I suggested in an email to the pastor of the church I attended that they should put speakers in the bathroom so I can hear the sermon.
The reply was no. I pointed out that there was no use in coming to church if I can’t hear the sermon.
I know my son will be in Heaven because he was baptized and confirmed.
He has faith! In fact one of the two pastors that taught his confirmation classes commented that he was a theologian and too bad the synod did not have a place for him. Quite a few times that pastor looked up some of the answers that my autistic son gave and was amazed at his perception and understanding of the bible. A “normal” child also took the class, but did notdo as well as my son.
According to the Chicago Area Pastors, there is no need for a Worship Service for the Developmentally Disabled People in the Chicago Area!
What about all the Developmentally Disabled People we see every day of our life? If they do not get a Free Ride to Heaven, then I guess that these Chicago Area Pastors are damning these people to hell.
