I am usually a very passive person, but your article about depression and problems in the clergy upset me very much.
In these times of people losing their jobs and homes, I think that the timing of this article was really bad. I have suffered many problems in my life, but I pray to the Lord every day through good times and bad and trust him with my life.
I have gone through depression and I understand the need for this article but, again, the timing is really very bad.
I am an elder in the church and the members of my church are doing all they can to help people in bad circumstances. It would have been more timely if your article had been more encouraging to show that our denomination was there in help and prayer for those who are suffering.
My prayers go out to the clergy who are suffering.
