In his “Black Dog” series, author and illustrator Matthew Johnstone “says with wit, insight, economy, and complete understanding what other other books [about living with depression, and living with someone living with depression] take 300 pages to say” (Stephen Fry).

Ask Then Listen How to Be an Ally Like Jesus Sunday, 5/25 @ 10am EDT LIVE! On-Site & Online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568
Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, whoever trusts in me will do what I have been doing, and more.” Because being a Christian isn’t about just doing what Jesus did but taking the example he set for us and extending it as our understanding of the Gospel grows. Few stories make this clearer than the many, often problematic times Jesus healed sick or disabled folks, usually without asking what they want. But thanks to disability advocates and the Spirit, the Church knows better now. But do we do better? (John 5:1-9)
