Yes, it's sad in this supposedly "enlightened" time that some churches are still under that belief. I do know of churches that are understanding toward mental illness. My denomination is. I don't go around blabbing to all the members about being bipolar, though. I even know some pastors with that diagnosis. My husband has been asked to give a presentation to a church group about mental illness and how churches can help. If you'd like to know more about the work he does, etc., then feel free to send me a PM.
