Christians are not exempt from mental health concerns, yet many ministers and church communities are unsure how to think and speak about these issues. They also feel unsure about how to best minister to those who are struggling. This session will provide a framework to help understand psychological concepts from a Christian worldview and suggest practical tips for ministry.

God is. God works... even in times when He seems to be utterly silent, when the darkness is overwhelming, when hope is merely an empty word. God still is. God still works. Come share in a time of hope, of discovering and re-discovering His light, of sharing in the mission of Jesus to make life more abundant for our world.

The session will explore the tenets of Prophetic Christianity as exemplified in the Black Church tradition as cohering with the true character of the Christian faith. Does a primitive vision prophetic in character suggests that there is a socio-religious praxis inherent in the ministry of reconciliation?
