Hope To Clergy
Imagine that you are suffer
ing from chronic fatigue, feel
ings of despair and
hogelessness, and physical ills
inc udini severe headaches and
stomach pain. You feel
overscheduled, overwhelmed —
but helpless to change. You use
prescription transquilizers in
order to cope.
Are you in trouble? Yes. Do
you need help? Yes, again. But
the grim truth is that if you are
a member of the clergy, getting
help can be especially difficult.
BURN-OUT
“Clergy, like many in the
helping professions, are subject
to gurn-out. And as human be
ings, clergy are also subject to
alcoholism, emotionaf pro
blems, and depression,” said
Dr. Mark Biddle, director of
Clergy Health Services (CHS)
at Emory University Hospital.
‘‘Unfortunately, unlike many
other people, cferguoften have
less support for admitting their
problems and seeking help.”
Clergy Health Services is
designed to provide confiden
tial, affordable help to clergy
and their families. It draws on
_the resources of sponsors such
as Emory Hospital's Depart
ment of Pastoral Services,
Candler School of Theology at
Emory, the Department of
Adventists Set
Annual Campaign
“On the cutting edge’ is
how Seventh-Day Adventists
are describing l{umanitarian
work in their 80th annual ap
peal for assistance with worPd
and community services
(Ingathering).
“We want Summerville,
first of all, to know how their
gifts were used last year,” said
Douglas Hedgecock, who
heads the project this year.
“We think it's important that
fiou know how your gifts
elped 13-million people
around the world receive hel
in disease and disaster, witfi
wells and water, in education
and motivation,’’ he says.
Properly identified
solicitors can also show the
people of Summerville how the
$7.7-million received during
1986, the last audited state-

BISHOP FITZGERALD
Psychiatry in the School of
Medicine, and reflects concerns
of the Ordained Ministry of the
North Georgia Annual Con
ference OF the United
Methodist Church.
MISSION
According to Biddle, CHS
has a three-fold mission which
responds to the obstacles
clergy face. ‘‘The first is educa
tion and consciousness-raising,
since many individuals do not
even recognize the symptoms
of burn-out or depression, or
the stress of, for instance, mov
ing from one parish to
another.” The second part of
CHS'’ mission is intervention
and referral for troubled clergy,
and the third is in- and out
patient treatment for
alcoholism, psychiatric
disorders, and other problems.
Overcoming denial, and en
couraging — rather than
gunishing — clergy who seek
elp is crucial. *‘ln addition to
the clergy themselves, denial is
frequently practiced by con
gregations and communities
who stereotype clergy as
paragons of virtue. The result
is that clergy frequently had to
hit bottom am;l be expelled
from the ministry before they
sought help — ify they sought
help at all.”
ment, according to Hedgecock,
was used in 1%87. About 45
percent of that amount came
from the public canvas, he
adds.
Of the total, $3.4-million or
45 percent, was used in
devefi)ping nations for medical,
educational and community
service projects. Church
operated schools, kindergarten
through college, around the
world received 17 percent.
Local community service
programs such as service pro
vided from the Adventist
Center at 504 Bellah Avenue in
Summerville got 14 percent.
Another 10 percent was used
statewide for community ser
vice. Church youth camps got
six percent, as well as anotfier
three percent for camps for the
underprivileged and other in
ner city projects. Two percent
each went to North American
health screening vans in many
states, similar programs where
vans are not available, and for
fund-raising costs.

Presbytery
Meets At
LaFayette
Representatives of the
Presbyterian Churches and the
Presbyterian ministers of Nor
thwest Georgia met at the
LaFayette church recently for
the f"all stated meeting of
Cherokee Presbytery. The
Summerville Presbyterian
Church (USA) is a member of
the Presbytery.
© Two new ministers were
received by the Presbytery.
The Rev. Jenny Hammett,
Atlanta, is the new organizing
pastor for a congrzgation being
developed in North Cherokee
County near Canton. Also
received was Dr. Lucy Rose,
North Carolina. She is the new
professor of preaching at Col
umbia Theological Seminary,
Decatur. i
The Presbytery considered
and approved a budget for
1989 for the benevolence pro
gram of the Presbytery, the
Synod and the General
Assembly. It totaled $677,610.
It also heard from Dr.
Joseph Freund, executive of
the Georgia Department of
Labor, who outfi)ned to the
Presbytery some of the social
and economic trends affecting
the Presbytery. He indicated
that Georgia was the fifth
fastest growing state in the na
tion from 1980 through 1987,
and that Northwest Georgia is
the area growing most rapidly,
with five of the 15 counties
growing the fastest in Geor%ia
within the region served by
Cherokee Pres%)ytery.
He noted that 80 percent of
the growth of Atlanta is nor
thward with the metropolitan
population moving more and
more into the area served by
the Cherokee Presbytery.
