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!
Pinging the good pastor to the thread.
You’re welcome.
I’ll add that “a good-faith effort” doesn’t guarantee success. Regardless of the details of the “special need,” there’s always the possibility that a specific congregation won’t be able to address it in a way that’s satisfactory to all. However, if a family with an autistic child shares the beliefs of a church and would otherwise be welcomed as members, I think there is no other choice for Christians than to try to work with it.
