I heard a commercial for a church today and it brought up an interesting problem.
The comercial starts off with a mother explaining how her child is developmentally challanged and that some people shun her child for it. She then states that she stopped going to church becuase they would shun her child.
And in comes the pastor of this church, saying that they accecpt all children of God, regardless of their condition in life.
Just thought it was weird enough to share.

How convenient
My mother is a pious twit, we had to go to the same church she went to as a kid.
She taught Sunday School there since she was 11 and became an elder at about 30.
My sister is extremely disabled, We got more prejudice at that church than anywhere, school was bad enough, but the church people had concentrated disgust for us.
My mother of course refused to see it.

Not unusual in any organization. There is a stigma and assumption that the parents must have done something wrong/be doing something wrong to have an abnormal child. Ugh.

Leviticus 21:16-23 tells me the first one is probably correct church behavior.
