Forgiveness

It's very interesting how certain things come together (obviously not coincidentally).
Last Thursday, Jon Trott had us watch a documentary called The Power of Forgiveness. It talked about forgiveness from all points of views (different religions, science, etc) and some of the topics were 9/11, the Amish Tragedy, a foolish teenage murder, and others. It was really good. It showed the process of forgiveness that different people went through.
Then, on Sunday, the whole thing that I talked about in the previous post happened.
The next day, in our Community and Growth class, Neil told us that someone had come up to him once and had told him that it's obvious that this community has been and is still going thanks to a lot of mercy, which is so true. And really, without forgiveness no one could live together.
That same day, Lisa Borden from Tanzania wrote this great post talking about one of the things that were mentioned in the documentary!

The general email has been deleted so that what happened can't reoccur, the people that got into the fight have apologized to the community. Life goes on, though I'm sure that the two people are still hurt and people in the house are still talking about the whole thing...
