ASC FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION PROGRAM

In conjunction with the Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project

April 22, 2006

Is forgiveness a universal truth? Do major world religions differ on the idea of mercy? What is the nature of justice? Is there a place for revenge? Should we attempt to reconcile with those who have done us harm? This is a day to explore how we, as individuals and society, treat failure and transgression.
