Who was the mentally ill one here?
What to do about the mentally ill, now that we can't put them in jail, is that the question?
1--Some variation of 'A family for every baby, a church for every single mother' might work.
2--Start with one. The police will tell your church about various candidates.
3--As you act, put it on video, similar to what Christian Court TV would do. This might inspire others.
4--Start with one.
5--The much-maligned 'Dismissing Jesus' might be a start, in addition to Glasser and Adams. There's a story in that book about a bishop who built a city to house refugees from famine in the 4th C.
6--Start with one. Sunday Adelaja ('Church Shift') worked first with the outcast in Kiev (I believe) and after these outcast had been restored, their 'successful' relatives came to Jesus, as is said, joined Adelaja and the church.
7--Start with one. In Jenkins' work ('The Next Christendom' is one) he tells that 3rd World worship services are healing services. ('Medicine' as we know it ain't there). In mny liturgies, there is the term 'salutary gift'--translation: 'healing grace'. Believest thou this?
8--Did I say to start with one?
9--Who heals, as Pastor Jeff might put it?
Love in King Jesus,
Charlie 'start with one' Hartman
PS: Report back to us. PPS: Pastor Burke's church was helping a single mother, iirc.

I failed, I repent re: Start With One
Dear Gentle Ones:
He was brilliant, yet obstinate. I could have talked with him and though I'd probably have died before now, we might have done good work.
He worked with Dr. Teller, he taught college math.
Home is where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in. (Frost?)
I was so much younger then, I'm older than that now.
He was my brother-in-law, beset by a brawling woman who somehow got authorities to abet her.
He died homeless.
Love in King Jesus,
Charlie 'Matthew 4:17, Luther's First Thesis' Hartman
Proverbs 16:4
