Suicide is a leading cause of death. More people die from suicide than in all of the combined wars, conflicts, and natural disasters across the globe. Suicide is also an issue that few seem willing to discuss. Suicide remains a hidden or taboo topic. Stigma, culture, and theological misunderstanding are contributing factors to this reality.Addressing suicide from a body, mind, and spirit perspective is necessary to deliver total wellness. There are two competing approaches to suicide. The first approach deals with our body and mind. The perceived superiority of psychiatry, psychology, and pharmacology have displaced the church's response and responsibility to care for hurting people in our communities. The second approach deals only with spiritual matters. It excludes medical, psychiatric, psychological, and therapeutic methods and treatments. A third approach is greatly needed, one which is integrative of scripture as well as the sciences.The purpose of this study is to examine how scripture, spiritual practices, and congregations can address suicide. Religion / spirituality is frequently listed as a strong protective factor against suicide. Multiple studies show that religion / spirituality is even stronger when beliefs, religious activity, and community are engaged to support people at risk of suicide. Religion / spirituality must be integrated into suicide prevention plans and efforts.It is time for Christian communities to rejoin the battle against suicide. Christianity has a rich legacy of caring for people in crisis, historically having started hospitals, asylums, and compassionate care ministries. There is a way for Christianity to regain its voice and care for people at risk of suicide. It is time for us to be silent no more.
