The Addictions Recovery Ministry of the Diocese of Louisiana announces its 21st annual weekend for women and men who are or wish to be in recovery. The weekend will take place at the Conference Center in Robert, Louisiana, August 6-8, 2004.
This weekend will explore the ways in which we can translate the vision of recovery into our faith lives. The conference will also incorporate an exploration of spirituality based on St. Francis’ threefold method as well as concepts of faith from Paul Tillich’s “Foundations of Faith”.
The format of the week will be presentations with time for small group discussion. The weekend will include a healing service and a Eucharist.
Our facilitator for the weekend is the Rev. Dr. Bude Van Dyke, chaplain of St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School. Fr. Van Dyke is an Episcopal priest who began his recovery journey in 1990.
The weekend begins with supper at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 6 and ends after the Eucharist on Sunday, August 8 about noon.
The cost of the weekend is $135 per person and includes a room for two nights, Friday night supper, three full meals on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. Sunday lunch is not provided. A $70 non-refundable deposit is required and should be sent along with the attached registration form, no later than July 23, 2004
