The Gentle Soul that Touched AA: Discovering Father Ed's Impact

Explore the profound impact of Father Ed, the spiritual sponsor of AA's co-founder, in an upcoming webinar from The Center of Addiction & Faith. Discover recovery tales with author Dawn Eden Goldstein on Sept. 27, 2023. Register here.

In recognition of National Recovery Month this September, The Center of Addiction & Faith presents a not-to-be-missed free webinar. Dive into the life and teachings of a priest so profound that Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder, Bill Wilson, deemed him "the greatest and most gentle soul to walk this planet." St. Louis Jesuit Father Edward Dowling, often referred to as Father Ed, was not an alcoholic. Yet, he profoundly touched the lives of many, including alcoholics, those in strained marriages, and individuals grappling with mental health issues.

Join us on September 27th, 2023, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm CT, as author Dawn Eden Goldstein, together with co-hosts Pastor Ed Treat and Keaton Douglas, delves deep into the legacy of Father Ed. A 30-minute Q/A Zoom discussion will follow, ensuring attendees can engage in a meaningful dialogue.

Furthermore, registrants will benefit from a 30% discount on orders of Father Ed: The Story of Bill W.'s Spiritual Sponsor from OrbisBooks.com using the promo code FRE23. Register here.
