Summary

Van Ness, Daniel W (2001). Forgiveness Good Friday Meditation. Truro Episcopal Church. March 29,2002

In this Good Friday meditation, Daniel Van Ness reflects on forgiveness, love, and restorative justice. He does so with particular reference to significant traumatic events and circumstances, such as post-apartheid South Africa, genocide in Rwanda, and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on targets in the United States. Without finding or offering easy answers, he explores what it means to love our enemies and forgive those who wrong us, as Jesus in the New Testament commands his disciples.
