The Prisoner's Lantern
by Jember Teffera

ISBN 0 905870 04 2, published in 1988 by the Keston College (reprinted in 2000 by Glenfall Fellowship), 38 pages, £1.50 (includes P&P - cheque made out to "Glenfall Fellowship - Ethiopia Account") from:

"Imprisonment is a form of darkness" - so says the author of this booklet who wishes to remain anonymous. All we know is that she was imprisoned near the centre of Addis Ababa in a place called "Alem Bekagone" which translated means "the End of the World." In June 1986, Amnesty International reported that there were believed to be over 5,000 prisoners there, of whom about a third were political prisoners.

She was motivated to write out of a concern for fellow prisoners, both guilty and innocent. These meditations give evidence of the practical application of a living faith and speak directly to all who are in captivity - whether spiritual or physical.

Each page of the booklet features a short bible passage, followed by a few thoughts of reflection or meditation leading to a prayer; and sometimes a heart-felt cry to God. The text is interspersed with variety of helpful sketches.

A proportion of the profits from the sale of this booklet is being given to a charity concerned with teaching skills to prisoners in Ethiopia.

What hope can there be for the millions of people struggling to survive in the slums of Third World cities? The author of this booklet must have found an answer as she has given-up a privileged background to work for years in the city of Addis Ababa which has the distinction of having the highest proportion of slum housing of any capital city in the world.

Jember is the project co-ordinator of the Integrated Holistic Approach Urban Development Project; serving the residents in four of the worst slum areas of the city. The project is almost unique in aiming to meet the needs of the whole person and an unusual style of 'bottom-up' democracy. The biblical inspiration for Jember's work shines out of her booklet. Other Christians called to work with the urban poor will be encouraged by Jember's approach in the booklet which takes a number of scriptures, gives a brief reflection on each one and finally ends in a prayer. The text is interspersed with illustrations of bible scenes and city life.

The profit from the book sales is being donated to 'plastic house dwellers'; often street children who have been displaced by famine, disease or war. They arrive expectantly in the capital city but soon end-up sleeping under plastic sheets at the side of the road. This is Jember's second booklet, following 'The Prisoner's Lantern' (Keston College, 1988).
