Address : 516 Prospect Street, Maplewood, NJ, USA

Information:

Restorative justice repairs the harm caused by crime. When victims, offenders and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results can be transformational. It emphasizes accountability, making amends, and — if they are interested — facilitated meetings between victims, offenders, and other persons. Restorative justice is an important contemporary expression of timeless standards of justice.

2003. She was appointed associate pastor for children, youth and education ministries in 2006. Rev. Ehlers lives in Maplewood with her husband, Bill, and their three children.
