interested in jail and prison ministry will be introduced at a training
workshop Oct. 3-5 in Chicago.

healing for incarcerated kids, women in prison, aftercare, capital
punishment, and the myth and reality of prisons for profit.

Dallas; Deaconess Lori Wilbert, prison chaplaincy, Northern Illinois
District; Sandra Jewell, Trinity Lutheran Church, Kankakee, Ill.; and

Handbook for Jail and Prison Ministry features information on preparing
a congregation for prison ministry, volunteer training, Biblical
reflection and networking resources. Each workshop participant will

Lutheran Church--Missouri Synods World Relief and Human Care and the

Congregations. Partial funding is provided by Thrivent Financial for
Lutherans.
