'...the foundation of ministry to those with disabilities begins through faithful preaching - reestablishing an authentic Christian worldview based on weakness and grace. This must then be modeled by leaders who embrace their weakness as an example to others. Finally we need a corporate community that grasps a vision wherein this ministry can find root and grow - first through availability and hearts open to experience transforming grace in a way that is entirely new to many, then through growing "expertise," that is the application and working out of grace based on the mercy and grace we have received and experienced from God in Christ.'
Michael S Beates, Disability & The Gospel, p.131.
