The Reverend Cecil Williams is pastor of Glide Memorial
Church in San Francisco and a pioneer in fighting the war on
addiction. He reaches out to pushers, pimps and drug users
with unconditional love and a non-violent battle cry “it’s
recovery time!” Alex, one of the toughest drug dealers in the
infamous housing projects near the church, says”… at Glide
there were all these hands, reaching down to help me. All I had
to do was hang on and keep climbing until I got to the top…
this is recovery.”
