Pastors and self harm


Recommended Posts

Posted

We had a thread sometime ago when we discussed the problems pastors have. Apparently suicides among pastors are becoming more common. So, here is a series of links looking at pastors and emotional health, suicide, and church response. Thee are not SDA pastors, but I imagine many SDA pastors also feel the pressure of dealing with congregations and their problems.
