Restorative Justice / Prison
Ministries
United Methodists
The General
Board of Church and Society. Their purpose is to connect the
Gospel with our lives, personally and communally (involving both
congregations and the wider world). This often involves a reconciliation
process that is human to human and humans to God. Some of the
major issues (from the web site) are: “Environmental justice issues
such as endangered species and genetic science”; “Social and economic
justice concerns such as gambling and campaign finance reform”;
“Peace with justice issues such as immigration and military spending”;
“Civil and human rights such as the death penalty and gun control”.
