Click on this diagram for a better view.
Robin Rader sent to me this link to KidsPeace where they are exploring how organizations like The Salvation Army can connect with a government program for the community reintegration phase of a juvenile justice program.
I think this is pertinent to 1:17 - It is particularly relevant to what Scott Larson and Larry Brendtro are talking about in their book.
The diagram above explores the basic tenents of what they are calling 'restorative justice.'
Enjoy!

Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the world of blogging!
I'm glad that you decided to join.
Just a note of clarification/ disclaimer for others joining in this conversation: I wasn't suggesting that this partnership exists, is in the process of existing, or is going to necessarily exist... I was just using this as an example of an institution that is looking for people who have the skills/ministry we like to hone in the S. Army. :)
Michelle: I share your concern, but I would also express the opposite concern of not taking advantage of developing relevant partnerships with people who are pursuing similar goals.
I think that our core values and mission should dictate our evaluation/assessment of these relationships... and that any partnership should be entered in to with eyes wide open... Equally we need to continuously evaluate whether or not we are becoming insular and self-contained. Any form of community development requires partnerships - it's the only way we can truly be transformational.
Thanks for the important points!
Steve
Hi Josh,
I also think it would be a great program. But we need to try to do our best to academically and practically prepare ourselves so we are ready to be mobilized when this type of opportunity emerges.
The challenge is laid out for all of us to do our best to prepare ourselves for the challenges and opportunities to come tomorrow.
Steve
