“I was in prison…and you visited me.” Matthew 25:36 It is Pentecost weekend when we visit, a maximum-security men’s prison in NY. I thought my purpose was to be the hands and heart of God to these men, but what I did not expect is that I would witness a faith far deeper than my own in these “men in green.” The men refer to us as “those from the outside.” We “outsiders” truly felt the divide between this walled prison and our Rochester neighborhoods, once the gate locks behind us. But for three days we create a sanctuary in the prison gym, where the outsiders and the men in green, are Christians united in faith and a shared conviction: Christ’s message of love and forgiveness. I experience the Spirit profoundly, deeply, and densely.
