Church Website Article on Body Image

[Anonymous]

I love this article and the fact that the Church published it on the website.

Lots of good things in this article.

Quote:

See your body as an instrument, not an ornament. Think of your body as a tool for experiencing life the way God intends, not just something to be looked at. Focus on how you feel and what you can do.

It does not mention modesty at all but when I saw the following bullet point I thought of modesty:

Quote:

Take responsibility for your own thoughts and actions. Regardless of what anyone else wears or does, you can decide to view them as a person, not an object. Respect others’ agency to make choices that are different from yours and treat them with dignity.

Articles like this make me hopeful for the future of the church. :clap: :clap: :clap:

It is worth pointing out that men have this problem too, although it is less commonly talked about.
