Sign Language

Religious Sign Theology being my major, I chose to reflect upon and research how deaf people worship religiously. It had never occurred to me before. Growing up there was no interpreter at Mass.

This page has daily ASL web devotions. These are videos of daily devotions done in ASL. I find it fascinating that a deaf person can just log onto the Internet and get the same experience as a hearing individual who is trying to worship through daily devotionals.
