STRESS IN AMERICA

Rev. Dr. Tony Clark, Conference Minister

Dear Folks:


I don’t have to tell you that there are only a few days left to the national election. In Montana the senate race is getting hefty recognition nationally, which means that we have received at least 2-3 cards per day per candidate. You’ve seen the battling TV ads. You’ve heard the pros and cons. Many of you may have already voted.



The American Psychological Association’s (APA) Stress in America 2024 report gives us this data: More than 7 in 10 adults reported the future of our nation (77%) as a significant source of stress in their lives, making it the most common source of significant stress in this year’s survey. The economy was the second most common, with 73% of adults having reported it as a significant source of stress. The 2024 U.S. presidential election followed closely at 69%. (retrieved 10-24-24).


Peace,

Pastor Tony
