The Call for Forgiveness
In this workshop, youth examine forgiveness, in both large and small scale. Forgiveness plays out in different ways in relation to social justice. This workshop acknowledges the topic of oppressors seeking forgiveness for oppression, but focuses more on an individual’s responsibility to seek forgiveness. If every person accepted this responsibility, perhaps institutionalized oppression would have difficulty taking root in our society.
Take it Home
Remember that in Unitarian Universalism our own experiences and those of our family and friends can be held in as high regard as religious texts. Talk with those closest to you about forgiveness and how you see it as connected to the first Principle. Share stories about the times you found it hard to forgive.
