Chemical Sensitivity

In our new church this year, I was approached by a member before Easter: Do Easter lilies bother you? No more than my beloved daffodils on Daffodil Sunday. Don’t worry about it. The headache and nausea would only last a day.

Challenge by Jeanne Tyler

Jeanne Tyler co-chairs the UCCDM board and is co-pastor of Saint Paul UCC, Lincoln,
Nebraska

He told them another parable: “The [realm of God] is like yeast which a woman took and . . . .” – Matthew 13:33

Slowly bubbling along with warm water and sugar, yeast grows as it rises into dough and bakes into bread. This image from Jesus’ rich parable is especially apt for persons with disability and our call to serve.

We have been around forever and have been bubbling slowly ever so slowly into the wholeness of life, bringing the church into the fullness of transformation along with all who have been marginalized, made invisible. With many and diverse gifts, some serve and others are served.
