X-WR-CALDESC:George Fox advised us to “walk cheerfully over the earth answe
 ring that of God in everyone.” For many Friends this is one reason that th
 ey participate in prison ministry. Prison ministry has been an important Q
 uaker leading throughout the history of Quakers. Prison outreach is a mini
 stry for many meetings. They see this as an important witness and an examp
 le of how we let our lives speak. Many inmates’ lives have been enriched b
 y these humble and sincere Friends. They do not screen out who is welcome\
 , but welcome all who seek to follow their quest to hear that small voice 
 and to give them hope for a future. But what happens when the former inmat
 e accepts our invitation to worship with us\, to be a part of our communit
 y\, to live a life of integrity and simplicity and to be equal in the eyes
  of God? How do they transition to freedom\; how do we accept them into ou
 r lives which includes our children? How do we witness our faith while we 
 keep our children safe? Join us as we explore the Quaker faith in a countr
 y that has the highest incarceration rate on Earth. The program will inclu
 de: “That of God in Everyone” with Betsy Meyer\, (Sandy Spring & BYM Clerk
