At this conference, we are invited to “picture” God. The noun picture evokes paintings, drawings, portraits and photographs. We may think of television and movies. The verb picture means to represent someone or something—in this case, God—in a  picture or photograph, to form a mental image of God, and to describe God in a certain way. As a preacher, teacher of preaching, and, for that matter, child of God who is legally blind, I am increasingly concerned that, in our time, our “certain way” of describing God is almost exclusively visual, and that this  emphasis on physically seeing God, or having physical sight as the frame of reference by which we experience God, contributes to the “fragmentation” of people who are blind and, by  implication, all people who live with disabilities, from the church, the faith, and from God, since they are not able to “picture” God  as the church does when it gathers to worship.
