Letter: Prison Work
| Sis Marilyn Seagoe
T
hank you for the article you wrote in the
last Gospel News, including the photo in
remembrance of Bro William Casivant. It was
a good article. Bro John Warner (San Franciso
Peninsula) even mentioned it to the ecclesia
on Sunday. I do miss Bro William.
The prison work does keep me busy besides
the family and work in the ecclesia. Some
days it is hard to keep up because I also have
to pay attention to my health these days. I do
find the prison work is difficult because of
authorities, but it is like that all over the
world. The sad cases are the sex offenders. I
never in my life thought I would be dealing
with this subject, but there you have it. I am
finding they are not all the same, but they
are lumped all the same and branded for life
like Cain. There is Megan's Law which will not
allow any sex offender anywhere near chil-
dren, which means they can NEVER attend an
ecclesia. Brothers and sisters have to go to
meet with them if possible. Then they have
strict rules. I'm learning more about this all
the time.
One man in prison in Mississippi is a sex
offender and there is no ecclesia for him to
attend. He didn't think he could become a
Christadelphian. He is about to finish Bible
Basics and just wrote that he has stopped
doing any other Bible studies that have
anything to do with the Trinity. I will be
sending him another Bible course soon.
Love in our Lord

Comment: Sis Marilyn has done much to
help prisoners come to the Truth for many
years. Incidentally, I forgot to add
Trinidad, where we often publish news
from Brother Constantine who also learnt
the Truth from ‘Bible Basics’ whilst in
prison on Death Row. That makes seven
countries where prisoners have recently
been converted to the Truth from ‘Bible
Basics’ in Prison. MH
Letters of Christ
| Bro Paul Muyira (Nartire, Kenya)
B
rothers and sisters, let us be letters of
Christ as Scripture says in 2 Corinthians
3:1-3. First of all, changed behaviour must be
seen in us by putting off the old man and then
putting on ‘the new man’ (Ephesians 4:24).
We are to look good both inside and outside
as saved brothers and sisters.
Secondly, to be letters of Christ in this
present world, the fruit of the spirit must be
seen in our behaviour (Galatians 5:22-23).
We must apply this scripture in our own lives:
“Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works” (Matthew
5:16).
Thirdly, let us be letters of Christ by
expressing and demonstrating the love and
compassion of God to our fellow brothers and
sisters. If we happen to do what I have said
above, then our Lord Jesus Christ will be alive
in us.
May the Lord in heaven bless you abundantly
as you live to please Him.
