Many branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, and Christian Science Societies support institutional committees or have individual members who participate in institutional work, engaging with people in such places as prisons or hospitals.
Hugh Eccles, Bob Woodard, and Patricia Woodard are all involved with this kind of activity, volunteering their time to conduct Christian Science services, discuss Christian Science, and sponsor Christian Science lectures in jails and prisons in their respective areas.
Recently, I had phone conversations with Hugh, Bob, and Patricia to discuss what their work in prisons has involved, spiritual lessons they’ve learned along the way, and fruitage from their experiences.
