Meet Gregory Boyle and Homeboy Industries

If you have about 40 minutes to spare, I highly recommend listening to this.  Gregory Boyle is a Jesuit priest who has been working with gang members in LA since the early 80s.  The ministry is in some financial trouble right now, and the first part of the interview deals with some of those issues.  Later on, he tells some of his stories.

I haven't read it yet, but his book Tattoos On the Heart has received great reviews.
