Morning program:

Prison Ministry has been a significant part of Quakerism through time.  The morning program will explore prison ministry and the power of art to transform through viewing portraits of several famous Quakers painted by Corey Devon Arthur, who is incarcerated and a convinced Quaker.  We will view the paintings, share biographies of the subjects, and participate in a guided discussion using prompts developed by Judy Meikle, NYYM’s Aging Resources Consultation and Help Prison Coordinator.   The program will provide an opportunity to learn more about Quaker history and Quaker Prison Ministry, and the artist’s perspective on his subjects.

Tom Wright, Buffalo Meeting and Anthony Salem, Rochester Meeting will speak about their experience of worship inside prison.  Jill McLellan will moderate.

We are looking forward to being together!
