“The sixth, seventh centuries AD is when Islam came out of the Arabian Peninsula. They then swept through the rest of the Middle East and all the way over into Europe. So that was the rise of Islam. Jews were there before that. The Jewish religion of course goes back to the time of Joshua when Israel as a nation came into that land. So they predate by about 2000 years the Muslims that came in.”

1 in 4 people in the United States lives with a disability, yet many of our churches don’t resemble this reality. Attempts to welcome those with a disability are often implemented by well-meaning but ill-informed people. The results can lead to those with disabilities feeling excluded and isolated from the family of God. One Body, One Spirit gives eyes to the able-bodied to see the challenges experienced by those with disabilities.
