In the early 1700s, Alexander Pope wrote "To err is human; to forgive, divine." Yet we continue to struggle with what it means to forgive and to be forgiven. The subject of forgiveness is often complicated and ensnared in misunderstanding. In Marjorie Thompson's upcoming two-day workshop, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the nature and practice of forgiveness and learn how to cut through some of the confusion surrounding it.

"Forgiveness is a process," said Thompson, a pastor, teacher and author based in Nashville, Tennessee. "People who attend the workshop can expect to come away with fresh perspectives on forgiveness and several practical tools for engaging in the process over time. They may also discover a greater sense of hope for what is possible and a deeper desire to move toward the freedom that forgiveness brings to our spirit. There's a wonderful freedom that comes with authentic forgiveness."

A course offered by The Episcopal Church in Minnesota and Seabury Western

We live in a world that is globalized, multi-cultural, and more religiously diverse than most of us can imagine. And that’s where—and how—we meet God. And it’s complicated. How does our context inform what we know about God? Does lots of difference mean that anything goes? Is being a Christian a matter of opinion?

 Dates: March 24 to May 5. Online Introduction: Week of March 19.

This course is offered in partnership with the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. This is a six-week online course that begins with one day-long seminar meeting and runs from March 24 to May 5.
