This week we’ll hear from Dr. David Brattston, a man whose articles on suicide have been published by nearly every Christian denomination. He’ll help us understand what drives people to this desperate act of hopelessness, offer suggestions on what we can say to people who are thinking of suicide and also weigh in on the topic of assisted suicide. To learn more, read these articles: http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/view/brattson-thinking-about-suicide and http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/view/the-ethics-of-assisted-suicide. But first we’ll hear from Mother Katherine on the timeless problem of anxiety and it’s simple but not easy solution.
