AA Grapevine from December 1967 with Clancy I. Articles
A.A. Grapevine — December 1967
Includes: “A Christmas Message from Bill” + Clancy I. (“A Portable Sanctuary” / “Sanctuary Regained”) + Alateen Feature
Overview
Offered here is an original December 1967 issue of the A.A. Grapevine, featuring a heartfelt seasonal message from Bill W.—a warm, gratitude-filled reflection on sobriety, peace, and service as Alcoholics Anonymous approached its 32nd Christmas.
Bill’s short “Christmas Message” captures the tone of the era beautifully: a fellowship growing through turbulent times, yet finding “an increasing measure of peace” through sobriety and spiritual living. It’s a meaningful, display-worthy issue for collectors and for anyone who values Bill W.’s voice outside the Big Book.
