PETPOSITIVE POLL: Should Churches Be Disabled-Friendly?


SHOULD CHURCHES RESERVE SPECIAL PARKING FOR DISABLED PERSONS?
PETPOSITIVE INVITES YOU TO TAKE PART IN OUR LATEST POLL!
The recent remark made by representatives of St Andrew's Church (above) that able-bodied church members would be upset by disabled-friendly car parks is the subject of our brand new poll which will end on New Year's Eve.
Have our churches done enough to make their buildings disabled friendly today? Or are the disabled seen as only "sick persons" in the parish.
Should churches be the followers or the leaders when it comes to champinoning the rights of the disabled in our country?
If Jesus himself were physically here in Earth, what would his take on this subject be?
These are just some of the scores of questions - and disappointments - that many disabled Christians feel about the slow response of churches to their needs.
Please tell us how you feel. You can either respond by taking part in the PET+BLOGSPOT POLL on the right column of this page or send us your comments.
When giving us your viewpoints via our Comment Page, telling us a little about yourself will be most appreciated but not a must.
So get those fingers of yours on the keyboard everybody and start typing!

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Kuala Lumpur, prides itself as being an "International Church", this is false pride.

John Knox would not be amused at this shameful situation, the noble Scottish roots of St. Andrew's Church KL are being tainted by the contempt and disdain of the disabled that has been demonstrated.

If this sort of discrimination happened in the United Kingdom, prosecution would swiftly follow.

"Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie,
O what a panic's in thy breastie!"
