Addiction & Faith Conference
September 20, 2019 - September 22, 2019
The 2018 conference far exceeded expectations.
By popular demand we offer this 2nd Conference.
|
With growing concern over the devastation of all forms of addiction, including the ever-increasing opioid crisis, the Fellowship of Recovering Lutheran Clergy (FRLC) in partnership with the Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church (RMEC) present this conference on addiction and faith to raise awareness of the terrible addiction problem we face and how the church and people of faith can help to address it.
|
You Are Invited to Join Us!
From the world of church: clergy, synod staff, deacons and deaconesses, parish nurses, youth leaders, addiction awareness teams, congregants, and the community of people in recovery.
From the world of addiction treatment: treatment center staff, healthcare professionals.
Open to anyone interested: in exploring the devastation of addiction and the remarkable healing process of faith. Together, we’ll enhance our knowledge about addiction recovery, share stories of learning and hope, and celebrate our faith in God’s abiding grace.
Featuring:
- Internationally-known keynote speakers
- Breakout sessions and spiritual practices
General CEUs available, up to 9 hours.
