Attica Prison Worship Group 2018 State of the Meeting

Approved 3/22/2019

 

The beginning of 2018 started off at a low point of attendance. Three of our four volunteers were no longer able to come in due to suspensions or health conditions. We only had two inside members due to transfers or schedule conflicts. But our one outsider and two insiders kept the faith and things picked up by the end of the year. We now have 3 inside members and 3 outside volunteers.

Prison Worship

Syracuse Meeting

 

In the late 1960’s the news was filled with stories of the Freedom Riders and the restaurant sit-ins. I saw people who looked like me behaving in ways that made me weep with shame.

Light Behind the Walls

by Yohannes “Knowledge” Johnson 
Green Haven Prison Preparative Meeting

 

When we open the door, the room is dark. We flick on the lights and confront an empty room, chairs stacked and lined up one next to the other along the walls. One solitary heavy wooden table sits in the far corner waiting to see who would come and utilize its service.
