Not sure if I'm allowed to talk about this or not but it's something that really annoyed me.

I am a Manager of a care home for people with a dementia. We regularly have the church people in to do a service for our residents. One of the residents asked why his legs didn't work very well, he was born with legs that are not straight. The vicar there said it was because he does not pray hard enough. When my resident said that he always prayed, then the vicar said it was because he did not have enough faith!

I'm so angry about this!

This angers me too. I hope people know that God does NOT do this kind of thing to us!!!! It's all environment, genes, illness, etc. But GOD doesn't do this. He doesn't punish us like that!

I wish people would understand stuff like this and not blame God when something like this happens.

Wow Pegs...
I cannot believe he said that to your resident. Did he think he was "Helping"?!?!?!

Thanks for this!
