I read a great report today describing a church's inclusion of developmentally disabled folks in their church."'The Haven' is a ministry for members with developmental disabilities such as autism, Asperger's syndrome or other conditions that may make sitting through a typical church service difficult or impossible.
'It's better than everything else in my life,' said Alec Carlson, 15, who has Asperger's and joined 10 other people on a multicolored mat during the Scripture lesson."
The story [on Beliefnet] goes on to discuss how more and more churches are trying to include services for those with special needs.
Very cool.
