Letter from the Bishop of New Hampshire, Gene Robinson
February 13, 2006

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am writing to you from an alcohol treatment center where on February 1, with the encouragement and support of my partner, daughters and colleagues, I checked myself in to deal with my increasing dependence on alcohol...................................

................................... The extraordinary experience of community here will inform my ministry for years to come. I eagerly look forward to continuing my recovery in your midst. Once again, God is proving His desire and ability to bring an Easter out of Good Friday.............

Your Brother in Christ,
+Gene

1. Good for him! And kudos to his loved ones for their support.

I've been sober for 21 years, thanks to the confrontation by my husband and my mother and their unwavering support.

2. Good for him.

What I'd expect from a man that brave.

3. It can happen to anyone.

No one is immune to alcoholism. I'm glad he's facing it.
