To be alive and addicted is to stand in need of grace. Gerald May. The Commission on Addictions Recovery Ministry seeks to include all those suffering from addictions of all kinds. Friends and families are also enfolded in God's unconditional love through the events and services sponsored by the Commission. People find a safe haven to worship God in his church with the love and support of others in recovery. We continue to be resources for our local church family reaching out to individuals in crisis.
Many clergy look to the commission for guidance in situations involving addictions.
We bring recovery to the church and the church to those in recovery. Each parish is provided materials produced by the national Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church and is encouraged by the bishop to observe a Recovery Sunday during the year. Members of the Commission are willing to help design such services as well as to give their testimonies to congregations. The annual August weekend for men and women was held at Solomon Episcopal Conference Center and was attended by a record breaking 84 people. Leo Booth was the presenter.
