CLF's Prison Ministry Needs Letter Writers
December 15, 2006
Looking for a social justice project that people can do alone, at home, or in groups? Almost 300 prisoners have joined the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Larger Fellowship (CLF), and dozens are still waiting to be matched with Unitarian Universalist (UU) penpals through CLF's "Letter Writing Ministry."All letters to and from prisoners are sent through the mail and all prisoners' letters are forwarded through CLF's prison ministry. Prisoners are told only their pen pal's first name. The CLF's prison ministry staff makes the pen pal matches and remains available to all penpals for advice and support at prismin @ clfuu.org.
Penpal groups can have the added goal of meeting regularly to study prison, death penalty, or race/class issues. Study materials on these topics are available from the Unitarian Universalist Association.
For more on the pen pal program write to the CLF Prison Ministry, 25 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02108.
For more information contact interconnections @ uua.org.
