The week of Jesus’ resurrection is his first week home from prison after a very public arrest, trial, imprisonment, and death sentence. His closest friends do not recognize him; they are frightened and mistake him for a ghost or a thieving gardener. Jesus’ experiences in the wake of his resurrection look startlingly like those of every other formerly incarcerated person. The next issue of Sojournersexamines what it means to reread the resurrection story with those who have served time. To understand why the church needs to change our perceptions of formerly incarcerated people, read “Home from Prison” in the May issue of Sojourners.
