Even in ancient times, , when a limb had been severely injured and infection or gangrene had set in, amputation leaving a clean stump was necessary, if not always sufficient, for survival. But I love especially the understanding of the Kingdom of God as including all, especially the intellectually or physically disabled, and it being especially that inclusion that enabled it to be the Kingdom of God. I think of the televion series on PBS Call the Midwife, and the character Reggie, who has Down's syndrome.
