REV. MCKINLEY YOUNG,

Council of Metropolitan Atlanta,
congratulates Dorothy Miller,
surrounded by her family of 10
adopted children.
would be wonderful if
every Christian
represented a center of
values, tradition and
purpose . . .(and
recognized that) the value
of another person is not
determined by that
person’s circumstances.”
He praised those who have
the capacity “to love in
circumstances where it is
difficult.”
In presenting the annual
awards, Mr. Willis
Johnson, Jr., chairperson
of the awards committee,
cited the honorees for
their “inspiring example of
Christianity in action.”
Mr. Johnson presented
Dorothy Miller the Mrs.
Fred W. Patterson award
for exceptional personal
ministry. He noted that
Ms. Miller brings “joy into
the lives of severely
disabled children.” Ms.
Miller and her children
have created a real family,
caring and helping one
another. Their
neighborhood has become
“a meeting place for two
worlds” in which the
varying abilities of
individuals are recognized
and appreciated, he
continued.
Ms. Miller formerly was
a member of the Grey
Nuns of the Sacred Heart
for thirteen years. She
came to Atlanta in 1960
to teach at Christ the King
School, and later taught at
Immaculate Heart of Mary
School where she
developed a religious
education program for
severely handicapped
children. Later she
founded the Elaine Clark
Center for the Growth and
Development of
Exceptional Children Inc.,
which now educates over
100 severely handicapped
