Episcopal Assembly series on Mental Health & Orthodoxy

(AOB) - We all hear about mental health and mental illness in our society. Yet what we learn about these things outside of the Church are often disconnected from what we learn about our faith in Church. For those who suffer with mental illness, it is easy to feel alienated, out of place or unwelcome in Church when issues related to mental illness are never mentioned or discussed. In this series we seek to help our people understand mental illness and mental health from an Orthodox Christian perspective, making the connections between the contemporary understanding of mental health and our Orthodox Christian Tradition.
