Make and distribute copies of, Jesus Never Said “BE PERFECT”, by Walter Wink. The following questions can be used for personal reflection or group discussion:
- Do you see disabilities on a continuum that goes from slightly to extremely disabled? How might that view of disabilities influence a congregation?
- What is the difference between “the well-off practicing charity” and “breaking down the barriers that have previously excluded those with disabilities”?
- There was no such word as “perfect” in Jesus’ dialect. What words do we use to mean “perfect” in our lives?
- How do we live with the “curse of perfectionism today”?
You are invited to read, pray, or sing the Just As I Am.
