Friends, today’s A Church for Daniel is a special presentation of a picture book I wrote over the summer, inspired by the experiences our family has had attempting to be part of…well, life. Church events, community events, school events. The world is full of elephants named Daniel, be they autistic or otherwise. Do you see Daniel the elephant in your community? When were the moments we missed the mark of inclusion? And who are the Rev. Bunny’s and Mrs. Cicada’s in our midst, teaching us how to center strengths and unique abilities instead of differences?
