Abstract: | Local Protestant church leaders can confront the problem of depression by providing parishioners with information in three related areas: symptoms of and reasons for depression; distorted understandings and uses of biblical ideas about perfection, self-denial, surrender, and expression of anger and grief; and principles of parenting that encourage children's self-esteem, problem-solving abilities, and faith development—strong deterrents to depression. |
