As someone who very nearly didn't survive depression, the article on that is a very accurate article.  Because of the church support I was able in one sense to buy my way out of it with access to some very good medical and pastoral support.  God alone knows where I would have been with out that support. I am not confident that I would have survived.
 
And as for the good archbishop; I reckon Jesus would be pissed off with him. The homosexual man who gave me a ride home tonight would be my favoured company any time.  I hear that people of ""evangelical"" persuasion are often deeply distressed about gay people in the church.  The damage and pain I see them causing leaves me wanting to walk away from the whole deal.  None of them are being asked to accept a homosexual minister; simply to allow that others may have a different opinion.

Reading through the SMH this morning I wondered which article would most catch Jesus attention.

 

This:

 

Christianity in peril, says Jensen

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/10/13/1065917352278.html

 

or this:

 

Depression crosses class boundaries, yet talk therapy is a bit rich
