    Seven Lessons from the Inside Out
    May 14, 2021
    Recently, the MN Department of Corrections published Bishop Marty’s article, “Seven Lessons from the Inside Out”, and wrote a thoughtful perspective introducing his article: Whether you have a Christian religion, adhere to another higher power, or believe in the power of people to change, much can be said about the collective philosophy regarding the importance of life. Facility Religious Resources Coordinators play an important role in assisting offenders in navigating life changes and coping with confinement.

  • Highly Esteemed Are You
    February 5, 2017
    We are living in very interesting, and in some ways challenging, times. And as Christians who are walking the road of holiness, I can think of no greater gift, or even a more necessary gift, than to walk that road with others who are willing to ask the questions, struggle with the understandings, and be willing to talk about the meanings we discover.
