Public Square Forum: The Challenge of Forgiveness vs. Justice
Topic: Is forgiveness essential to a life of peace? When does it become a roadblock to honesty and justice? We will read excerpts from The Sunflower, a Holocaust survivor’s surprising and thought-provoking study of forgiveness, justice, compassion, and human responsibility and hold an honest discussion on the role that both justice and forgiveness play in our work and in our community.
Content to explore in advance: short (4:30 min) video (forgiving a killer) and brief (15 min) reading The Sunflower
Time: 6:45 pm – 8:45 pm. Thursday, November 7, 2019
Location: Beverly Public Library, Sohier Room. 32 Essex St. Beverly, MA
