Your church, Nicholas Hughes and the mentally ill

Nicholas Hughes, son of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, is gone by his own hand.

What might your church have done for him? Churches are often a poor refuge for the mentally ill. What is your church doing for the mentally ill, whether suicidal or not, now?

  1. We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
