Many churches are involved with the nearly 9,000 prison ministries operating in the U.S. correctional system. United Methodist Bruce Cook says working with victims of violent crime is equally important but often overlooked. Rev. Cook spent 32 years as a parole examiner and a prison chaplain. He also lost a family member to murder. This unique perspective led Cook to form the Crime Victims Advocacy Council which provides long-term support for the families of crime victims. The support group Cook formed at his own church, Vinings United Methodist in Atlanta, is still going after 25 years. “This little church has been a beacon for crime victims to come in and get cared for and loved and restore their faith,” says Cook. He hopes other churches will seek ways to help crime victims find peace.
