Ableism - Yes, Again

   Every time the church I attended this weekend meets, they "open the doors of the church", which is their way of saying an alter call. There was a woman sitting next to my supervisor who is differently abled. I watched as someone forced her, pulled her and then led her, down front. The woman was agitated, looking around, and not knowing why she was there. She can't really talk so someone assumed that she should go down front.

  And it hurt my soul. Deeply. What gives us the right to make such large decisions for anyone?
