De(a)f Church

Sunday is a day that many people worship their Gods – for me that means a lot of time in front of a mirror or camera. Being that not everyone worships like me, I figured I would write about church; primarily because I just heard a great story.

Both of my friend’s parents are deaf and they go to a church where all of the members are deaf. A few years ago she took her boyfriend with him to their church and this was his experience:

“It was awesome! A deaf man plays the organ – it is totally off and incredibly loud so some of the members can hear the pitch. Everyone sings – regardless of the level of their hearing impairment – that’s pretty incredible.” “They sing ‘Engrish’,” my friend interjected.

Her boyfriend continued with his story, “The other amazing thing that happens at this church is the excessive amount of farting, burping and other bodily functions that make noise – they can’t hear it so they do it constantly and without shame.”

Although I’m not a believer, I believe I could enjoy at least one meeting at this church.
