Former top prison chaplain takes up new ministry

Rev. Terry Richardson is the new pastor at Nanaimo’s Hope Lutheran Church. Before taking up his new position, he was the director general for chaplaincy and restorative justice with Corrections Canada, where he oversaw the activities of 120 prison chaplains across Canada.

Rev. Richardson recently told The Nanaimo Daily News that he won’t soon forget the troubled men he’s helped and, at times, have helped him in return.

We speak with Rev. Terry Richardson about his prison ministry, the attitudes and beliefs held by society about criminals and prisons, and about his new ministry in Nanaimo.
