KAIROS is a ministry
very similar to the Walk to Emmaus and Chrysalis Flights. The only
difference is the people that this ministry reaches. Many who have
been on the Walk to Emmaus or Chrysalis weekends feel led to become
active in this ministry.
Kairos
Prison Ministry International, Inc. is the
parent organization of a body of ministries addressing the spiritual
needs of incarcerated men, women and children, to their families
and to those who work in the prison environment. Kairos sprang
from the Cursillo movement and is supported by volunteers from
Cursillo and those other movements that consider Cursillo as their
root. Although a separate ministry, Kairos has received the blessing
and encouragement of 4th Day movements such as Cursillo, National
Episcopal Cursillo, Presbyterian Cursillo, Lutheran Via de Cristo,
The Upper Room's Walk To Emmaus, and independently ecumenical
Tres Dias. Kairos Prison Ministry is a ministry rather than a
movement.
Kairos is a ministry of the church ... a ministry of the apostles
whom Jesus, the Christ, has called into community and sent forth
into the environment of the correctional institution. Kairos has
been called the best example of the early church in existence
today.
