Bible studies in prison
Sir,—Results count, and the good results of Bible study classes voluntarily given by Christian staff officers at Paparua Prison are commendable. There is no apparent reason why the chaplains there should object. They should cooperate in cause. Good scripture teaching does not require
channelling into a particular denomination. “God is moving in one of Britain’s biggest remand centres,” says Canon Harry Thomson (September 8) — the result of voluntary teaching of Bible studies among the prisoners. Listen to God, and great things, for good happen.— Yours, etc., A. DELHANTY. September 8, 1984.
