Ministry with recovering addicts and ex-offenders

Astratto

Statistics documenting recidivism among ex-offenders and recovering addicts are grim. The rate is at least 50% following incarceration or treatment. The author proposes that churches need to do more. Church members, equipped to minister, must be out among them. The author contends that recovering addicts and ex-offenders must be drawn into the church. The paradigm of the separate Alcoholics Anonymous community, as the sole place of help, must change. Even simply renting a space to an Alcoholics Anonymous group in a church building is not enough. The author describes seven ways for the church to minister in these areas.
