Rev. Paul McCain over at Cyberbrethren has an outstanding post on suicide right now. Here is the final paragraph:
Finally, if you know a pastor who is struggling, be sure to reach out to encourage him and support him. Don’t sit around thinking, “Oh, somebody else is going to say something.” No, you say something. Do something. Reach out in Christian love. If a congregation is aware that the pastor is suffering, don’t wait, help.
Amen to that, and thank you, Rev. McCain, for your excellent and well written post.
