Committee on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (CASA)
About Us
The Committee on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (CASA) was established in response to the 1979 General Convention Resolution of the Episcopal Church.
The Committee serves as an advisory group to the Bishop of the Diocese, and as a resource to congregations throughout the Diocese. The members are appointed by the Bishop to serve three year terms.
The Committee meets five times a year at various churches in the Diocese. Members of the Committee are available to serve as guest speakers for congregations on Alcohol Awareness Sunday and for other Alcohol/Drug Awareness events in the Diocese. At least one diocesan-wide event is held each year in the form of a guest speaker seminar, or a recovery-oriented weekend retreat.
The Committee, which is made up of lay and clergy, is a grassroots group that is the local representative body of the Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Church.
A word about Anonymity: Each member of the committee will respect your right to remain anonymous, unless you express otherwise.
