Community Speaker Series

“Problems of Mass Incarceration & Sentencing in Alabama”
Sunday Christian Formation: Sept. - Nov. 2025

This fall, Saint Andrew’s will host a series of Sunday morning conversations exploring the moral, theological, and social dimensions of mass incarceration and sentencing in Alabama and across the United States. Over the course of 8 weeks, we will examine the legacies of Jim Crow, systemic racial injustice, sentencing reform, gun violence, capital punishment, and the prison industrial complex—with particular attention to Alabama’s use of the death penalty. This series invites us to follow Christ into the places of greatest suffering, and to ask how faith can speak courageously into one of the most urgent moral issues of our time.
