Stress, it is said, is a positive force which aids survival. It generates the impetus to convert thought into action, to scale unclimbed mountains, to break world records or just to be in a certain place at a certain time.

Stress is also a negative force which threatens survival. Anxiety, strain, overwork, family and ecclesial commitments, the pace, complexity and responsibilities of life can reduce the effectiveness of the body's immune system and may actually cause physical illness and pain. 'Stress-related illness' is a fairly recent addition to the medical vocabulary and the condition it describes can be alarming.

The Christadelphian Care Group, in co-operation with the Bournemouth Winton Ecclesia, presented a Seminar on 'Coping with Stress'. Some of the writers of the articles in this booklet spoke at that Seminar. It became clear that their personal experience and professional skills and wisdom should be made more widely available. Hence this booklet. If it brings encouragement to carers and motivates those not so burdened to offer help; if it leads the readers to value more highly the privilege of our relationship with God and to appreciate the need for prayer and the blessings of friendship, then it will have achieved its objectives.
