CHANGING WITH GOD RETIRED MARSHALL, FROM LIVES ONE SOUTHERN UNION ED.D., RETIRED SICKNESS, SMILE AT A PUBLIC AFFAIRS SOUTHERN DISEASE TIME AND RELIGIOUS UNION EARLY LIBERTY CHILDHOOD DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR, PASSES PASSES vantagepoint People of (Dis)Ability here are many minority groups in America — ethnic minorities, religious minori- ties, socio-economic minorities, and more. However, larger than any of these is a Tgroup that makes up nearly 20 percent of the American population. This is the group commonly called those who are disabled. In fact, in the Southern Union territory alone, there are more than 9,275,000 disabled citizens. What a wonderful opportunity the Church has to minister to this large, dynamic group of people. As we approach 2019, the Year of Evangelism in the Southern Union, it is important that we are intentional in reaching this large population. Surveys have recently shown that those with disabilities are more receptive to the Gospel than others. Many are simply waiting for someone to invite them to come to church with them. Of course, we need to make sure that our churches are ready and user-friendly for people of all disabilities. Perhaps now would be a good time to take an assessment of our facilities and programs, to look at ourselves from the vantage point of one who has a disability. For instance, if you project songs or Bible texts on the screen, are the Jim Davidson fonts large enough for easy reading? Is the print in your bulletin large enough for a Executive Secretary of the vision-impaired person to read? What about your sound system? Can a person with Southern Union Conference a hearing deficiency hear the speaker with clarity? Are all of the rooms — sanctuary, Guest Editorial rest rooms, classrooms — easily accessible by someone in a wheelchair or walker? Do you have individuals or a team of people prepared to provide transportation to some- one who needs it? These are just a few of the issues of which each church needs to be cognizant. They are each important as you prepare to invite the community into your church during the Year of Evangelism emphasis. We need to make sure that the Gospel is accessible to all. Not only do the disabled need the Gospel, as do all of us, but they have so much to offer. When we turn to the Bible, we discover that some of the greatest heroes of Scripture were those who had a disability: • Jacob limped after wrestling with an angel. • Miriam had leprosy. • Moses stuttered. • Isaac was blind in his old age. • Mephibosheth couldn’t walk. Of course, there are many contemporaries who had a disability, but achieved great things: • Franklin Roosevelt had polio. • Helen Keller was blind and deaf. • Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS when he was 21. • Ellen White suffered an injury at age 9 which affected her the rest of her life. The list could go on. The world has been greatly enriched by those with disabilities, and so has the Church. I remember the words of Jesus, who said, “As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him,’” John 9:1-3. There are many people through whom God desires to display His works. May we as a Church become avenues through which the world sees the power of God as He works through this special group of people. 2 SOUTHERN TIDINGS | NOVEMBER 2018 contents Volume 112, No. 11, November 2018 The Southern Tidings is the official publication of november 2018 the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. features SOUTHERN UNION CONFERENCE 302 Research Drive Norcross, Georgia 30092 Mail Address P.O.

I was tired of being a dependable, work-your-way-through-school, practice-the-piano teenager. I decided I wanted to be a street fighter. It was a new thought and a foolish thought, given I had zero experience in the street. But, I started paying attention when some of the other big guys would pick a fight and brawl on the ball field at Greater Miami Academy. I practiced shadow fighting in front of the mirror at home. The 130-pound guy in the mirror wasn’t in the least formidable; nevertheless, I had made my decision. I would no longer be virtuoso pianist and class pastor. I would become a street fighter. I saw a workout set of springs advertised that claimed, if I would stretch those springs faithfully every day, I would become muscular and strong. It was false advertising, but I felled for it. I ordered the set and began my training to become a street fighter. Finally I was ready for my debut, and on the way home from school, at the bus stop on Flagler Street, waiting for the 57th Avenue bus, I picked a fight with the weakest guy in my class. John was a little taller, but I figured he weighed Gordon Retzer in about the same.

    July 2013 SOUTHERN The Spiritual Side of Student Life Sección En Español Vantage Point The Day that Rocked our World Surreal, catastrophic, unbelievable, nightmarish, and nerve-shattering are just some of the words to describe the terrifying event of September 11, 2001, the day that rocked our world. This horrifying experience unfolded right before our eyes on national television, and at closer proximity to thousands of New Yorkers, Pennsylva- nians, and Washington, D.C., residents. And, though what we viewed on our live news networks was actually taking place, many described a corresponding feeling of disbe- lief that our worst fear was becoming reality. Many of us believed that these unthinkable acts of terror could not happen to us. However, they did, and thousands of screaming people in lower Manhattan and the northern Virginia area were sent fleeing in search of safety. One upper Manhat- tan resident fled more than 80 long city blocks and lost her shoe in the process. She recalls exiting the subway station just below the World Trade Center complex in time to see the second plane hit the South tower. The grinding, crushing, explosive sounds of scraping metal and shattering glass created a dingy atmospheric haze across lower Manhattan. As the towers were being evacuated, despondent employees jumped to their deaths. The terrorist attack on America which unfolded in New York, northern Virginia, and Pennsylvania, gripped hearts around the globe. Our world was shaken up. This was a day that rocked our very foundations. The human heart searches for meaning and encouragement in times of confusion Ron C.
