A recent article in Christianity Today "Asking The Beautiful Question," by Joel Van Dyke and Kris Rocke is a must read for all those interested in prison ministry. You can find the story at: http://www.christianitytoday.com/globalconversation/april2010/index.html?sms_ss=email.
The article asks the question, "What does the gospel look like when it invades the margins of the world?" The margins they speak of are populations of imprisoned gang members in South America, prostitutes, street youth, and families in extreme poverty. The authors reveal some surprising insights into God's work in the world.
Those of us in prison and jail ministry will recognize, in these examples, how the grace of God flows in both directions when we minister to the least of these.
