Recent figures suggest that 1 in100 women has a clinically diagnosed eating disorder and over half have a 'serious issue with food' that wouldn't be clinically diagnosed but causes them significant trouble. Many sufferers find that the Church is sadly not as supportive as it could be, due to lack of understanding and ignorance. This workshop affords those in church leadership the opportunity to explore the relationship between church, spirituality and eating disorders and consider how the church could better support both sufferers and carers.
