[epilepsy] Re: New Research Study on Epilepsy and Religious Experiences!

 

Trish & Steve, by searching the Internet with the name of that church, one of the search results shows the church has a website. http://kyleumc.com/ -and- another search result shows they also have a page on Facebook, at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kyle-TX/Kyle-United-Methodist-Church/206773010576 And looking over all of the photos on their Facebook site, I don't recognize anyone.

But please, just as a heads up, there's a webpage titled "Staff/Contact Us" with names and photos of people I don't recognize, at http://kyleumc.com/kumc_site_011.htm . The only one I might know is because of her first name, Christy. The pastor back when I was there, around 2001, had a 16 yr old daughter who's name was Christy.

If either of you, or anyone else, receives any feedback from whoever you might come into contact with at that church, please share that feedback with me.

I don't want to return to that church because what happened back in 2001, helped to get me where I'm at today. I don't want other people with disabilities to end up being mistreated and discriminated in churches.

Well this congressman got into politics simply by beginning to help a local person get into office to keep himself busy while dealing with his epilepsy. He wanted to become a priest but was told by the church he couldn't do that because he had epilepsy. So, take it where you want from there. Anybody could look up what I posted by finding the name of the person then looking up his life story. He worked hard with the EFA. Take care, keep a smile on your face!
