The Recovered Alcoholic Clergy Association (RACA) is a working fellowship of the clergy of the Episcopal Church.
Any bishop, priest, deacon, member of a religious order, or seminarian who has a desire to stop using mood altering chemicals is eligible for membership. RACA is always willing offer support and counsel to ordained members of other religious traditions who want to discover the miracle of recovery as we have experienced it.
RACA's purpose is three-fold:
- Mutual self-help
- Fellowship
- Pastoral concern for clergy with a drinking problem and their families.
