    Restorative Justice Award Nominees Sought 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Presbyterian Criminal Justice Program is seeking 
nominees for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Restorative Justice Award for 
the year 2000. 
 
    The deadline for nominations is March 15, 2000.  Nominations may be 
made by a congregation, session, presbytery or synod, or an agency or group 
related to the PC(USA).  Nominations by individuals will not be accepted. 
 
    The award, established in 1991, recognizes Presbyterian individuals or 
groups related to the PC(USA) who are making outstanding contributions to 
direct-service ministries or to change advocacy related to the criminal 
justice system in the U.S. 
 
    The denomination defines restorative justice as "addressing the hurts 
and needs of the victim, the offender and the community in such a way that 
all - victim, offender and community - might be healed." 
 
    Individual nominees must be members of the PC(USA).  Nominated groups 
must have a clear connection to the denomination.  The winner will be 
chosen by the National Ministries Division Committee of the General 
Assembly Council. 
 
    Nominations should include the name of the nominee and/or project, a 
description of why the nominee is deserving, and the nominating body's 
name, address and relationship to the PC(USA).  A reasonable amount of 
documentation about the nominee and/or project may also be submitted. 
 
    More information is available from Rowland Brucken, Presbyterian 
Criminal Justice Program, 253 Henry Street, Eminence, KY 40019; phone (502)
