Some months ago we looked at suicide among Christians. Here Graham Heaps returns to this sad subject.
Though it was 25 years ago, I remember the occasion very well. It was Sunday morning, my fiancee and I were in a church in the south of England, not far from where my parents lived.
We had been to the church several times, knew the minister and were getting to know others in the church. The minister stood up to give out the notices, and what he said shocked me deeply. He explained that the previous minister of the church had taken his own life.
