Contemplative (vs. Active) Ministry

Autism Consecrated is a contemplative ministry,

meaning that our work is accomplished by our witness

to God's merciful love and wonderful design

through presence, availability,

prayer, and reflection -

simply by being who we are,

exactly as we were created to be,

in our uniquely autistic way.
