Seeing Rachel's item about work in prisons reminded me of an item on Start
the Week with Jeremy Paxton this morning - Jonathon Aitkin was talking
about his time in prison and commenting on the literacy difficulties of the
men he met there - would that be a practical channel for his newly found
relationship with God - to get involved with a literacy support programme ?
.......
Just a thought......
Cheers
Judith
