InstitutionalPaganMinistries
As
Pagans begin to establish ministries in hospitals, prisons
and the military, we need to consider new and different issues
including consistently explaining our beliefs and practices,
conflicting responsibilities to employer and parishioners,
transient congregations, and other unique characteristics.
Let us come together to discuss these differences and how
to address them.

Earth Ministries originated in Tucson, Arizona, and is very
active in prison ministry, serving, at this time, mainly Wiccan
and Druidic inmates in Arizona's State Prisons. Down
the line, we want to expand nationally as well as branch out
into other institutions, like hospitals and maybe the military,

with DOC, etc."
