“Reforming” the prison-industrial complex is not enough; we have to re-imagine a correctional system that is truly correctional and which honors and dignifies the incarcerated.
Worship Leader: Charlie Buttrey
For 38 years, Charlie Buttrey practiced law in Vermont and New Hampshire, primarily representing indigent criminal defendants. Last spring, he earned a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies from the Boston University School of Theology. Having now fully retired from the active practice of law, he is now focusing his time and energy on prison reform. Charlie coaches high school cross-country and track, regularly competes in road races, and serves on various boards focusing on criminal justice reform and refugee advocacy.
“We welcome you, whoever you are, whatever tradition, gender, race, class, sexual identity, ability, or age you represent. May you grow in the ways of respect, service, and wholeness. And through all your days may you know that you are loved.“
We are a lay-led congregation, meaning services and spiritual leadership are provided by community members rather than a designated minister. This reflects our commitment to shared ministry, where all members participate in roles such as worship leading, pastoral care, social justice work, and other community activities.
