Calvin Theological Seminary
Calvin Prison Initiative
Michael Duthler is a member of the first graduating class from the Calvin Prison Initiative program, a partnership between Calvin Theological Seminary, Calvin University, and the Michigan Department of Corrections.
Duthler started attending Calvin at Handlon Correctional Facility in Ionia, Mich., where he was serving a life sentence. Three years into the program he was paroled and completed the final two years on Calvin’s main campus.
“My story is one of the power of community in shaping someone,” said Duthler. “Whereas I was once an agent of destruction who didn’t care about anyone but myself, now my education forms me as an agent of renewal.”
