| Description: |
When John the Baptist sends messengers to ask Jesus if he is "the One" (Matthew 11:2-6), the evidence Jesus cites are the messianic signs by which the covenant people would recognize the ruler who would asssure them that God was wiath them (Isaiah 35:5-6). These messianic signs were remarkable, not because of their miraculous impossibility, but because of what they say about God. Throughout the gospels, Jesus' healings are for the purpose of restoring and reconciling people to community. They are evidence of God's universal love for all humanity.
The Presbytery of the Cascades' OPENING DOORS program is designed to encourage and assist congregations in upgrading their facilities and programs to make their churches more welcoming to people with disabling conditions. Our emphasis is on improving awareness, disseminating information, providing technical assistance, and motivating congregations to action. |
