Shelley,
Have you thought about writing either the publisher or a larger congregation
explaining the problem and seeking for financial assistance on be have of
your congregation. Or does your congregation belong to a religious
organization with a hierarchy who might help you or a training school like
the Union Seminary or some such. You can make it clear that you are looking
for a donation and not a loan. The information you have given in your
letter should make it clear when you describe your congregation. Many such
organizations might view it as bread cast upon the water (? - is that the
right quotation?)
I was greatly surprised when I was seeking recorded books and discovered the
Jewish Braille Institute. Now I know what you want is more involved than a
simple recording but even the publishers of the U.C.C. Hymnal might be of
help either with a donation of the book or even the $ you need for the form
you need it in.
Good luck
Amy

Smile,n the challenge with this, is that my church is a small one, and most
of the members are college students or young professionals just starting out
on their first jobs. most of us have a hard time affording the rent, smile,
don't mention the donations.
I wasn't kidding when I said that might be the churches bank balance.
And I have a problem with an organization saying that $500 should be a
necessary cost to the church because it is a "reasonable" accomodation. I
don't agree with that. Especially when it would take my church at least a
year or more to get that kind of a collection.
Plus, smile I want an electronic copy, not something that will take up two
whole bookshelves, and which i will have to type in by hand the hymns into
the bulletin.
I am being picky of course but that is a lot of money in my book, my
goodness that is how much I made a month on SSI. And that was what I lived
off of.
I don't agree with that policy.

Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Shelley,
You might find the article (UCC/Braille hymnal helps
church members) at this site interesting--or have you
already read it?
http://www.wfn.org/1997/07/msg00150.html
If your church takes up a collection on Sundays, maybe
there could be a couple of specific ones in orcder for
the church to get the hymnal. According to one
paragraph in this article, which I'll put below, the
UCC Synod recommended that churches makes such things
available.:
"Why spend such a sum of money for one hymnal?
For one thing, it's consistent with a tone set by
the
UCC's General Synod, a biennial national meeting of
delegates.
In 1981, the Synod went on record as urging local
churches "to
use such aids as braille materials; talking books;
large-print
hymnals, Bibles, Orders of Worship; signing; and image
and
color."
