Throughout human history, the practice of forgiveness has been championed by religious, social, and political leaders, from the Buddha to Christ, Mother Teresa to Martin Luther King, Jr.  Traditionally, forgiveness has referred to the act of excusing a perceived mistake, pardoning an offense, canceling a debt, or a dispute in order to dissolve anger and let go of resentment. Typically, forgiveness is not automatically granted simply because someone deserves it; instead, it is bestowed as an act infused with love, faith, trust, mercy, and grace.

So forgiveness is no simple matter; it is simply the heart of the compassionate life. Join us Sunday to learn more.
