This chart comes from a report published in the journal Health Affairs. Those of you who minister in the counties with worsening mortality rates among women, does this reflect your experience? Have you noticed a decline in the health of women in your community? Have you had more funerals for women in their sixties (or even younger) than in the past? This is a map of our mission field, and it is evidence of the social changes that are impacting United Methodist congregations in rural US counties.
