THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1980 The God squad by Danny White, pastor Dallas Baptist Church [Part II of a series] Bruce McCandless, founder of the God Squad in the Dallas Correctional Institute, has matured in his faith despite very difficult circumstances. The reasons that make spiritual growth a hard task are not what they at first appear to be to the outsider, For example, I thought that the prison environment would be the greatest handicap to growth. The lack of freedom, {ie persecution from other inmates who are not sympathetic to believers, or the despair of having to “do time” were the answers that I expected to receive. But these were not even mentioned as fctors which obstruct spiritual growth. The single greatest obstacle according to McCandless is the lack of access to more good teachers. Through the years, two teaching opportunities have helped him tremendously. One is from the prison chaplain, Rev. George Pickett. He has helped Bruce apply the scriptural mandate to ‘Study to show thyself approved’ (2 Timothy 2:15). McCandless states about Pickett's ministry, ‘I wanted easy answers for my faith. I was naive. I thought God was a sugar daddy in the sky - like Santa Claus. I thought that He would give me anything that I asked from Him. I had many questions when some of my prayers were not answered. Rev. Pickett pointed me to resources in our chapel library and made me dig them out. He helped me to find the answers and not just give me answers. I am the better for it.” The other opportunity is provided on Saturday mor- nings. A Bible study began by Ron Boudreaux, a layman from Dallas, is taught every Saturday morning. Boudreaux and other laymen lead in small group Bible studies. These two ministries provide the teaching resources for the inmates. Consequently, many of the inmates enroll in personal Bible Correspondence Courses. McCandless for instance has completed courses offered by the Southern Baptist Convention, the Emmaus Bible TRINITY NURSERY SCHOOL--Registration for Trinity Nursery School, Trinity United Presbyterian Church, Dallas, was held recently. Classes started Sept. 8. Limited openings are available for three, four and five year olds both morning and afternoons, Monday through Reynolds.
