You open your church’s front door and enter without a thought. If advancing years or a temporary, progressive, or permanent disability has diminished your strength, you may still open the door enough for a foot or shoulder wedge.

Or, you pound on the door and wait because you are a child or your wheelchair reach does not afford the leverage necessary to budge the door.
