Intimate ear for inmates

[The following article by Phil Gianficaro appeared in the “Our Towns” section of The Intelligencer on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2010.]

“I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.” —Matthew 25:36

We call them prisoners or inmates. Or worse. The Rev. Glenn Matis calls them residents because he sees them differently. Because he has to. Because somebody has to. “These men committed crimes, and they deserve to be in prison, but they’re still human beings,” said Rev. Matis, 62, chaplain at the Bucks County Correctional Facility.

Haiti Appeal from Bishop Michel

14 January, 2010

Dear Fellow Believers, In Romans chapter 15 we read of the relief that first century Christians provided for fellow believers in Jerusalem who were having a rough time of it. Modern day believers are called to this high challenge and work of mercy as well. We can do no less.
