The FRLC recognizes addiction as primary, progressive, predictable, chronic, and terminal. Addiction can be arrested at any stage of its development. Recovery from any and all addiction is a spiritual process. We bear witness to this truth at every level of Church. All clergy, licensed ministers, chaplains, and seminary students struggling with any form of addiction are always welcome. We’ll do whatever we can to provide support.
Weekly Recovery Meeting for Lutheran Clergy & Rostered Members: All clergy, licensed ministers, chaplains, and seminary students in any type of 12-Step recovery are welcome to join our weekly topic meeting during which we discuss our experiences of being in recovery while also serving as pastors.
When: Thursdays at Noon (Central Time) Setting: Closed, private, anonymous conference call. Contact: Pastor Melanie Martin-Dent, [email protected] for Zoom link. Anonymity is strictly protected.
