Beschreibung
What happens when faith communities become places of stigma rather than sanctuary. Named, Shamed and Blamed explores this urgent question by introducing the concept of 'spiritual stigma' and its profound impact. It reveals how religious language, practices and communities can intensify shame and exclusion for those facing mental health challenges - particularly individuals with bipolar disorder. Drawing on lived experience, the book combines empirical insight with theological reflection to show how stigma creates significant forms of poverty, oppression and injustice. It critiques harmful narratives around sin, suffering and healing, and offers reimagined responses rooted in liberation theology, compassion and justice. Written for theologians, faith leaders, mental health professionals, and all those concerned with belonging, it urges the Church to confront stigma as a theological issue and to cultivate communities that embrace those on the margins as central to the body of Christ, offering a vision of hope and transformation.
