“The key is to listen and believe, rather than look and falsely judge.”
We’ve all said the wrong thing at some point or another…
I put out a question on Facebook about what churches should and shouldn’t do for people with ME – and got almost 100 responses. Some of the stories made me weep – Christians with ME not finding a safe place in churches because leaders believed they were faking their illness for attention. I wanted to represent those answers, along with the facts of ME, in this article for Premier Christianity – but it was a challenge in 800 words!
At some point I want to try and give a fuller answer to represent these responses, but for now this is a good start. See what you think! Come with me to Premier Christianity – What Not to Say to Those with Chronic Illness (and 5 ways to help)
