Forgive

As promised in today's sermon, I have included below the link to The Forgiveness Project as well as several other websites to check out on the topic of forgiveness and reconciliation.

The Forgiveness Project is an organization that "...works at a local, national and international level to help build a future free of conflict and violence by healing the wounds of the past.

By collecting and sharing people’s stories, and delivering outreach programmes, The Forgiveness Project encourages and empowers people to explore the nature of forgiveness and alternatives to revenge."

Please take some time to read the stories and see where you end up on the forgiveness question.

Nobel Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu has done some amazing work with reconciliation and forgiveness. You can learn more about what he has done by clicking here. Or, check out the The Desmond Tutu Peace Centre online.

Please, don't hesitate to send your responses!

And please do keep in your prayers all of those who were involved in the Metrolink crash in Chatsworth. Pray for those who have died and their families, the injured and their families, as well as the doctors and nurses who care for them, the rescue workers, and also, importantly, pray for the Metrolink engineer who has become the center of blame for this tragedy.
