How does it affect the way we see criminal justice if we are looking at it through the lens of the same Jesus who said, "I was a prisoner, and you visited me," and who was executed by the state as a dangerous troublemaker? What does it mean to see the faces of the incarcerated as bearing both the face of Christ and the image of God?
As they continue to look at practicing justice, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve turn to what our faith says about criminal justice, and how we sometimes struggle with making that connection. They explore questions of what the purpose of criminal punishment is, what incarceration looked like in the biblical world and later history, and what we might be called to do in our lives and faith today. It's a thought-provoking and engaging conversation, and you're invited to join in!
