Mission
The diocesan Commission on Recovery grew from a landmark resolution on alcoholism passed by the General Convention in 1979.
Today, the Commission’s mission is to those who, through addiction, have lost their health and freedom, seeking to:
- Help those who are ill and those who love them connect with spiritual resources and find lasting recovery;
- Witness to Christ s unfailing mercy by welcoming unchurched members of Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step recovery programs into an Episcopal faith community;
- Raise the awareness of bishops, other clergy and lay leaders about addiction and the redemption and grace found in recovery;
- Strengthen recovering persons in the work of their recovery and help proclaim the Gospel in the world and carry their recovery into the Church
The Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church, Inc. carries on this work nationally.
