Recovery Resources for Clergy
Substance abuse and addiction are prevalent in our culture. As we all know, clergy and their families have no special immunity from addiction and its complications, as revealed in these true EDOT recovery stories.
EDOT clergy and their families need to be aware that, should they suspect that substance abuse or addiction has become an issue for them, the diocese stands ready to support them and to provide resources for treatment and healing.
If you are concerned, please act. Contact The Rev. Canon Lisa Burns at the Ministry for Wellness and Care. Addiction does not go away when unaddressed; it only gets worse. You can protect yourself, your family, and your parish by acting sooner rather than later.
The Episcopal Diocese of Texas has an active Recovery Commission led by: The Rev Brad Sullivan
