nave supported on columns and an atrium (see

tainted his message of love and acceptance.

This project is a response to the necessity of our
churches taking a more active role in the
integration of handicapped persons into the life
of the church. Ecumenism has its focus on unifying
all Christian belief systems. However, if there
are existing divisions over the issues surrounding
the handicapped in our churches, unifying our
churches will be a moot effort. Ecumenism, if it
is truly a movement for the wholeness of the body
of Christ, must take into consideration the issue
of the handic...
