How do we forgive the unforgivable? How do we build a future that chooses reconciliation over violence and retribution?

Join Pastor Jon and members of Wellfleet Artpeacmakers for a screening of Martin Doblmeier’s “The Power of Forgiveness”. This 75 minute long film asks how we reconcile in the face of some crimes that seem impossible to forgive. The film weaves together interviews with author and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, Vietnamese monk and war-resister Thich Nhat Hanh, as well as looking at case studies on reconciliation in Northern Ireland, in the aftermath of a school shooting, and in coming to terms with the impact of both 9/11 and gang violence.

Join us on April 7th at 6pm at the Wellfleet Public Library to watch the film; discussion to follow.
