Sunday, May 24, we will be joining over 200 congregations and faith-based groups to make
“A Call for a Juvenile Justice System That Heals”
Join us at the Armenian Church Youth Ministries Center, as we offer special prayers during the Holy Divine Liturgy for incarcerated youth.
Did you know? California spends about three times as much money per prisoner as per public school pupil. READ MORE. Today! Children are being tried as adults. READ MORE
During the Liturgy, I will use a special chalice that was given to me by the chaplain at one of the juvenile detention centers in Los Angeles. We will share and drink from the same cup that our incarcerated children drink. The sermon will be dedicated to the issues of children and justice. We will have information available for distribution and at the conclusion of the service, we will watch a short video: “God Cries When We Sentence Youth to Die in Prison”
Please check out the Faith Communities for Families and Children website for more information about this serious problem and what YOU CAN DO to make a difference.
I look forward to seeing you and praying with you:
