Good news

Last weekend we went to a camp for intellectually challenged adults. The Saturday night concert was worth the year of waiting for all present. You've never seen or heard Brittney like this before. We had items of poetry, singing, lasooing, chocolate eating, and piano playing (well, just a five note scale - up and down and up and down and up and down).

The camp was run by Evonne (bless 'er heart) who has given her life to care for and minister to this gang of people. She's amazing, even at 75ish.

There was a speaker who shared aspects of Christ throughout the weekend and I couldn't help but think that unless the 'good news' is communicable at this 3 year old level, to these Downs Syndrome microphone lovers, then it's not good. If they can't grasp the message of Jesus and live life abundantly then the gospel isn't for everyone.

It does make you think about how many churches get split and friendships get broken and denominations get defensive over 'fringe issue gospel'.
