A Criminal Justice Sabbath
/The season after the Epiphany is a time in which we remember and celebrate that the light of Christ has come for all people. On this particular Sunday we will join with the Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon to participate in a Criminal Justice Sabbath, which is an opportunity to make connections between our faith traditions and the legal system we are part of, and to see our shared responsibility to participate in healing. To help us make these important connections, Dr. Graham Reside, Vanderbilt University Divinity School Assistant Professor of the Practice of the Sociology of Religion will speak on restorative justice and the sociology of incarceration, and he'll help us to ask how our religious and moral commitments can shape our approaches to crime and punishment.
