During the weekend Dr. Preus noted that, “The Bible says, ‘In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…’ but in every age we have constructed our own worlds between which we have placed great chasms which it seems at times none may cross. We do this with people who are different: a different clan, a different village, a different ethnic ability, a different social standing, a different appearance, a different ability. No chasm is greater, no two worlds seem further apart, than the world of the intellectually disabled and the world of the intellectually enabled.” Using these worlds as a paradigm, Dr. Preus presented a biblical path towards deconstructing our worlds of difference and bridging the chasm between us and them.
