Checking out NAMI, MHM and how they view faith
by Darkmyroad on Jan.19, 2010, under book
I recently had an episcopal priest recommend NAMI and Mental Health Ministries to me, and specifically to look into the following document they have available:
Mental Illness and Families of Faith: How Congregations Can Respond
Resource/Study Guide for Clergy and Communities of Faith
I haven’t read it list, but I’m putting it in my reading list for soon. Is anyone familiar with this organization? How would their goals line up with faithful Lutheranism?

Join us and rest in Christ
Greetings and welcome to I Trust When Dark My Road. This site is about Christ and His gifts, especially as He gives them to those of us who suffer with mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. I'm a Lutheran pastor who suffers from clinical depression, and this is where I pose questions about treatments, theological questions, a little humor, and generally discuss the matter of how Christians respond to mental illness.

I have been to a NAMI meeting. It was at a Methodist church. At the end of a meeting, they said the Lord's Prayer (good, right?) while holding hands (umm, good? not good?) Anyway, I haven't been back.
