This talk with Ram Appalaraju will provide an overview of challenges faced by the incarcerated men and women, their spiritual needs, and range of chaplaincy services that are offered by the ministry.

Join us on one or two Sundays each month, in the continued commitment to social and environmental engagement and justice in this very complex time, to exploring the roots of structural violence in our social systems, and to engaging in the world in a courageous way based on contemplative practice and views that actualize non-separateness, interbeing, equity, compassion, justice, integrity, courage, dignity, and unshakable awareness.
