LTRP Note:<\/strong> The following Christianity Today <\/em>article is an interview with Prison Fellowship Chuck Colson, a CT<\/em> columnist as well as one of the authors of the ecumenical “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” document that was drafted several years ago.

Interview by Susan Wunderink
\nChristianity Today <\/em><\/p>\n
