I want to thank Deacon Greg Kandra over at The Deacon’s Bench (see link under Blogroll below right) for putting me on an article about Deacon Robert Kinghorn’s ministry to the prostitutes and drug dealers on Toronto’s streets.
Klinghorn has been a deacon for 26 years and has a background in prison ministry. For the past six years, Klinghorn has been ministering to people once a week in Toronto’s unofficial “red light district.” He lends a sympathetic ear and offers prayer for the women and men he finds there, largely prostitutes and drug dealers.
Klinghorn says the heart of his ministry is about accepting others and “listening to the hurts that have happened in people’s lives and to let them know that if we can accept them, God can.”

Blessings, Deacon Klinghorn!
