Dear Mark: For many years you have distinguished yourself
and your interviews by being open to the remarks of all of us who do our best
to help still suffering alcoholics and addicts. Your presentations are even
more important now because of the handful of sites which lambaste A.A.,
Christians in A.A., and those who help AAs. Fortunately, about the time the
stinkin thinkin, orange, psychoheresy, Lanagan crowd began throwing their
stones, a huge number of Christians in Alcoholics Anonymous began gathering
together in Big Book/Bible study groups, James Clubs, A.A. History groups,
Christian recovery fellowships, conferences, seminars, and workshops to
disseminate the role that God and His Son Jesus Christ and the Bible have
played in healing alcoholics and addicts with the power of God, and can still
play today. You deserve a medal as one of those who—perhaps like Dr. Silkworth—loves
drunks, feels responsible when their hands go out for help, and spares no
efforts when it comes to showing them what God has been doing for others that
they could not do for themselves. You’ve grasped the great element of “service”
that Dr. Bob grasped way back in 1935 when he met Bill W.
Now, after three and a half years, participants in all 50
states and in other countries have listed themselves as participants in the
informal worldwide fellowship of Christian Recovery Leaders, Workers,
Newcomers, and concerned members of the public to open wide the doors as to the
good news of the efficacy and successes available to and availed of by those
who were seemingly hopeless, medically incurable, last gasp real alcoholics and
realized that the abc’s of A.A. held out hope. And that the hope was and is
available for those who want and need and seek the power and love of God and
have gone to any length to do so. But for the grace of God!!!
All praise to God and to those who now stand for what he can
do and who are participants in www.ChristianRecoveryCoalition.com;
www.ChristianRecoveryRadio.com;
and Christian Recovery Resource Centers worldwide.
