By showing us just how our attitudes get instilled in us, exposing us to the truth of those attitudes, and finally appealing to the very presence of the Kingdom-at-hand, our friends from Elim Christian Services will help us understand and change our approach to working with marginalized people-groups all around us, especially those affected by disabilities.

Presented at the 2014 Calvin Symposium on Worship
