I know of a disabled boy who was thrown out of CHURCH for singing in a disruptive fashion.

That's terrible. What Bible does that preacher use?

In my church a family used to bring their daughter (institutionalized during the week) to Sunday service. The girl had severe autism and hooted and otherwise made noises during the service. The mom was embarrassed but the priest and other congregants went out of their way to assure that it was all right and the whole family was welcome.

To me, it was a reminder of what Jesus is all about. Given the love Our Lord has for the broken the sounds that girl made were more fitting for church than the most professional singer.

I doubt if he's ever read it.
