In St. Paul’s analogy of the body, he mentions that, with the physical body, we clothe with greater honor the parts that are “less presentable.” I think it’s a reasonable interpretation of this point to say that the church, in its component congregations, should understand that the “least presentable” - babies, the infirm, the disabled - are to be treated with special care.

I think this means that every congregation should make an effort to meet the needs of all. If that means accommodating a family with an autistic child, a good-faith effort should be made.

This is a great analogy and example. Thank you for posting it!
