From Demon Possessed to Being Blessed: A Brief History of Mental Illness and the Church

  • Connecticut Historical Society 1 Elizabeth Street Hartford, CT, 06105 United States (map)

Join pastor, author, and advocate Rev. Dr. Sarah Griffith Lund in exploring how religious views of mental illness have changed over time and what it means for us today. Faith communities historically viewed mental illness as a spiritual disease and many still do. What is the historical basis for this view and how has it impacted the way faith communities treat people with mental illness?
