How our Churches Ignore the Disabled

Is your church sensitive to the physically disabled within the congregation? That’s a question raised by Dr. Johnny V. Miller, professor emeritus in the CIU Seminary & School of Ministry. Miller, who also served as CIU’s fourth president from 1991-1999, asks the question as one who is himself physically disabled.

In a guest editorial in The State newspaper in Columbia, South Carolina, Miller wrote:

“I didn’t become sensitized to the physically disabled until I became one. That gave me a new lens through which to view church ministry.”
