GBGM’s “Circles of Learning” focuses on Restorative Justice

On Wednesday, December 16th, the General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM) of the United Methodist Church sponsored an open conversation on “Ministry with the Poor,” a ministry focus of the UMC.  This conversation, which was broadcasted live on the internet, was the first of a series of conversations entitled “Circles of Learning“.

The initial conversation featured a panel about restorative justice and how it can lead to more productive lives for ex-offenders featuring Bishop Kenneth Carder of Duke University Divinity School and Jim Winkler of the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society.
