The most destructive Frankenstein was created "in the name of God,"
among Brazilians in Somerville, Massachusetts. An unhealthy faith
system it was established. As a result, many Brazilians may not
trust any authority. They are becoming unable to discern who
supports their integrity, and who not. Visibly, the mental health
of some religious leaders became an issue. The questions that arise
at the intersection of faith and mental illness are not easily
answered. It is impossible to deny the damage caused by some
leaders around the Boston greater area. Faith has been destroyed,
lives have been lost and an entire generation has been spiritually,
emotionally and psychologically mutilated. This book represents an
action to take responsibility before God and the second generation
of Brazilians in the United States. In order to understand the
reasons behind this process of "deconversion" the challenge is to
consider some aspects of religious addictions, mental health and
spirituality. The Brazilian community has been diagnosed with a
"spiritual tumor." This illness has the potential for causing
isolation. Unless addressed, this sense of isolation and
unproductive faith can be ongoing. Many of the Brazilians feel that
their faith has been stolen, and it's time to take it back.
Authentic accountability with each other could be the very thing
that re-ignites our passion for Christ and His kingdom. Rev. Dr.
