In April 2003, the Baltimore Sun reported on the New Life Evangelical Baptist Church opening the Turning Point Clinic as a “Bush-era partnership of church and state: a methadone clinic that will operate from a house of worship.” The article quotes Rev. Milton E. Williams, pastor of New Life Evangelical, on how he saw serving methadone — the narcotic used to wean addicts from heroin — as a key role of his church. “I believe Jesus is the author of all good things, including medicine.” Williams said.
