Starving the stigma: Christians and Mental illness

| Apr 14, 2013

Jana Greene writes: "The church is the first place that the mentally ill should seek to stay encouraged, become surrounded with love, and depend on the support of one another. To bear our own crosses, but with help from each other. To manage the pain of life and all the challenges it doles out. To starve the stigma of mental illness, and nurture the brave ones coping with it every day. To stay encouraged by those who love us, which makes all the difference. It doesn’t take a village, it takes a church."

| Apr 3, 2013

If they were alive today, nearly half the presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — from Brigham Young in the 19th century through George Albert Smith in the 1940s — would be forbidden from serving in the faith’s 141 temples worldwide. That’s because being clean-shaven is generally a requirement for men to be Mormon temple workers. Whiskers are fine for temple-going members, but even nicely trimmed beards and mustaches are no-nos for temple workers.

Who do YOU say that he is?

| Mar 30, 2013

Jana Greene says: "If he were a great human teacher, that would be humbling enough. But no. Jesus, in dying on the cross and raising to life, bridged the gap between the Holiest of Holy Ones and puny, neurotic, recovering alcoholic, generally-all-around misfit and master of mistakes – ME. His Holy Spirit never leaves my side and calls me “friend”.  And that’s a miracle."
