A recent clergy gathering focused on the issues of Alcoholism and Addiction in the Church. Clergy, in particular, can have an important role to play in helping people get the help they need. Clergy are also at risk for substance abuse, and so the whole Church needs to be aware of these issues and on the lookout for anyone in our community who may be struggling. Below are some valuable resources. Please let me know if you have more to add to this list. Thank you!
