The Addictions Recovery Ministry of the Episcopal Church helps recovering Christians find a home within the church. ARM seeks to provide education, guidance and support for families struggling with, or wishing to learn more about addictions. Our desire is not to be dogmatic or exclude anyone in their spiritual search.Our hope is to live out the acceptance and love taught by Jesus.

Daryl Canfill who, in finding God, found themselvesand who were not only an inspiration but sweet and loving friends to us all.
