De;ression is common among believers, even their mininsters.
|
Observer, that is a strange thing to say considering how common depression is among believers in most religions, including the ministers. I have had friends that were Christian Ministers and the stress of being on call all the time, living in a glass bowl, being constantly watched and harshly judged, also dealing with the constant in fighting of the people in church politics. Naturally, they cannot discuss their dismay with their congregations, as they could get thrown out of their churches. So not being a Christian, I seem to have been chosen to hear their worry and frustration, because I am good and not telling anyone, I could serve as their father confessors.
