From Michigan-
Pastor John Franklin of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church has studied addiction for his entire professional life.
Beginning Wednesday, Franklin will share the knowledge he's accumulated as a professor of addiction studies at the University of Detroit Mercy and as a licensed psychologist.
For five consecutive Wednesdays — from 7-8:30 p.m. at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 10585 Hamburg Road in Hamburg Township — Franklin will lecture and host discussion on one of the area's significant problems — addiction.
"I thought this was something, especially in view of the fact that there is a high community concern about drug overdoses, that needed attention," said Franklin, a part-time pastor at the church for four years.
He retired as a professor two weeks ago from the University of Detroit Mercy.
"I knew this was an area of expertise for me, and having freed up time in my schedule, I thought this was something I could make available to the community," Franklin said.
