From Rev. Claudia:
"At a time when there is ever-increasing polarization and divisive rhetoric in our nation, St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church and the First Congregational Church of Blue Hill are joining forces to encourage a more healing dialogue by reading together-
The Book of Forgiving
In this book, The Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Chair of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness-helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation.
They believe that "the quality of human life on the planet is nothing more than the sum total of our daily interactions. Forgiveness is the way we mend tears in the social fabric. It is the way we stop our human community from unraveling. This book is an invitation for you to walk with us on the path of forgiveness."
