Faith-based communities are ripe settings not only for breaking silence around mental illness and addiction, but also for undoing stigma associated with traumatic experience or sexual victimization. At this community dialogue, we explore such topics as: addiction and mental illness as ailments meriting treatment rather than as sin; the consequences of unchecked sexual predatory or abusive behavior toward children; and the overall importance of talking aloud of such things with compassion. A meditative moment offered by the ​Holistic Life Foundation leads into a conversation facilitated by Dr. James Fuller, Pastor Emeritus New Hope Baptist Church.
