CPMC Monthly Learning Series

As Christians, we worship a God who was arrested, tried in court, found guilty, executed, and released from prison in the resurrection. How does this truth impact the way that we approach our brothers and sisters in prison? Sarah Jobe draws on her new book, “No Godforsaken Place,” to offer both the spiritual grounding and practical wisdom needed for all of us to “see life where it is easier to see death” in the work of prison ministry.

This webinar is ideal for:

• Individuals who are active across prison, jail and detention ministries, to set the tone for their ministry in the coming year
• Individuals who may not be active in ministry but want to draw closer to Jesus' words, "I was in prison and you visited me," during the coming year

Sarah Jobe is the Co-Director of Prison Studies at Duke Divinity School, a practitioner and researcher of prison chaplaincy, and the author of No Godforsaken Place: Prison Chaplaincy, Karl Barth, and Practicing Life in Prison, where she invites readers into rich and moving theological insights from interviews with 20 prison chaplains from across the United States. She was previously featured by CPMC in her thoughtful and nuanced presentation, "Chaplaincy in a Women's Prison."
