Occasionally we print letters to the editor; in this letter the Rev Scott Petersen, himself an alcoholic in recovery, urges the church to own that we are a church that welcomes alcohol, but also to learn to welcome all of it: the good, the bad, and the transformational.
WFMJ.com in Youngstown, OH ran a story on The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Diocese of Ohio, who shared his personal battle with addiction:
The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition. The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity. Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
The opinions expressed at the Café are those of individual contributors, and, unless otherwise noted, should not be interpreted as official statements of a parish, diocese or other organization. The art and articles that appear here remain the property of their creators.
