Abstract
The pastoral problem which I have identified in the
previous section can and should be approached in many
different ways. As with any deeply held prejudice, the
repersonalization of prisoners as people is not something
which will be solved overnight or with a few well
intentioned words being placed upon the pages of this
paper. My goal is not to solve the problem. This is a
task that goes far beyond the abilities of one person.
Rather, my goal is to act as a bridge between those of us
who are in prison and those of us who minister in the
local churches.
