Greetings and Welcome

Thanks for becoming acquainted with this blog describing my association with the ministry of First United Church in Vancouver BC beginning in July 2011. They are actively involved helping the largest population of homeless alcoholics and intravenous drug addicts in North America.


I will be joining their staff as a Chaplain and "Called Partner" (that is responsible for my own financial support similar to missionaries). This will be a major change of direction for me but one I feel uniquely prepared and very passionate about.  


Please take time to become acquainted with all the pages of the blog which I trust will explain the details.  I welcome  your comments and hope this blog will become a vehicle for interaction with all aspects of recovery from addiction. 


Thanks for checking in and I hope you will sign up as an email subscriber at the bottom right of this page. I will provide regular posts about this adventure to keep you informed. I greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers.


I also hope we can have an continuing interaction on this page about all aspects of addiction and recovery. Click on comments below and share your thoughts and ideas.


Shalom, 
Ross Banister
