RACA's
application card is a piece of paper or email with your name, address, and
phone number on it, along with your sobriety date and your request for
membership.
By sending in your application you are
stating that you are an alcoholic, are striving to maintain sobriety, and
that you pledge to support the principles and purposes of RACA.
Membership in RACA is anonymous, and no member may break the anonymity of
another. Our roster is available in Excel format to members at any time.
From time to time we publish a membership directory which circulates
confidentially within the boundaries of our fellowship. You may choose to
have your name withheld from this roster and still receive our newsletter,
enabling you to maintain contact with the fellowship
Many believe it is more helpful to others (and to themselves) to be known as
members of the Recovered Alcoholic Clergy Association. RACA membership is
open to all bishops, priests, and deacons, and to members of religious
orders and seminarians of the Episcopal Church. There are no dues or fees and no one is dropped from
membership. RACA welcomes persons from other religious traditions to its
retreats.
RACA is especially anxious to help those who are now drinking to excess, to
lead them to sobriety and to membership in RACA. Also wanted as members are
those who have achieved sobriety through counseling, treatment facilities,
AA, or on their own. RACA needs the membership of all those men and women
for the strength of its mutual fellowship, and they need RACA for their own
morale and continued sobriety. |
