After an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting, Bob Born was asked if he would like to also volunteer at the first faith-based prison unit in the United States, the Carol Vance Unit in Texas. He was reluctant at first, but he said ‘yes’ anyway. Bob’s ‘yes’ 23 years later has grown into one of the most successful local Orthodox prison ministries in the country, OCPM-Houston, which today boasts leadership from priests, laity, and monastics from Antiochian, Greek, and ROCOR archdiocese—a truly pan-Orthodox ministry.
