Minn. Mom Fights Church Ban on Her Autistic Son
Woman fights church that said her autistic son is a threat to others, banned him from services
By DAVE KOLPACK Associated Press Writer
BERTHA, Minn. June 1, 2008 (AP) The Associated Press
 


Carol Race thinks it's important for her 13-year-old son to be in church on Sundays for Catholic Mass.


Adam Race, 13, receives a playful hug from his sister, Chiara, 12, as his brother Joshua, 15, looks on Thursday, May 29, 2008, in Eagle Bend, Minn. Adam Race was banned from a Catholic church in Bertha, Minn., after the family and parish could not agree on accommodations for Adam, who is severely autistic.
(Dave Kolpack/AP Photo)Leaders of the Church of St. Joseph once felt the same way, but not anymore. They say Race's autistic son Adam is disruptive and his erratic behavior threatens the safety of other parishioners.

Beware of those that verbally try to convince you they are Christian. Check your back pocket and make sure your wallet is still there. Next check your reputation to see if it is still intact. Chances are, one or both will be missing
