East Vancouver: Addictions Course

Addiction is a crisis of our time. We frequently hear about the devastation caused by drug addiction: overdose deaths, broken relationships, and harm to communities. Many of us have wrestled with addiction in the context of our own lives, communities, and churches. How might Christian theology address addiction and how it is healed? How can the practices of Christian communities promote recovery, justice, and peace for our neighbors with addiction? 

This 2-week course, taught by Dr. Quentin Genuis, addresses how the church can approach the challenging questions of addiction with clarity, courage, and hope. Join us from 7-9pm on April 8 and 15 at 2475 Franklin St.

Cost for this two-night course is $20 and includes registration, snacks, and a copy of Quentin's recent book, "Recovering People: Addiction, Personhood, and the Life of the Church".
