But generally, there are healthy benefits of religious participation, well researched. I will list a few that could be expanded on in future columns:

Religion offers a positive view of the world as a mostly safe place because God is viewed as being in charge.
Participation in religious ceremony helps us deal with the stresses of inevitable events in the adult life-cycle: birth, marriage, vocation, illness.
Religion has a framework to help us make sense of life’s great mysteries, including mortality and death itself.
Concepts of serenity, hope and morality are central elements of religion.
Religion promotes a world view where unconditional love makes sense.
Most religious participation provides a supportive sense of community.

When Pain Makes You Comfort-Able

No one can help a woman who is struggling with a wayward teenager like the mother who has welcomed a prodigal home.No one can encourage a woman struggling with depression like the woman who has come out of that same darkness and into the light.No one can help a woman struggling with the pain of a shameful past like the woman who has exchanged her tattered sackcloth for a princess’s robe.That’s why your story matters.
