DOES A SIMPLE APOLOGY MATTER? What is required for healing when the
hurt we've inflicted (or received) is far from simple? Is forgiveness
is the only path to peace of mind? What drives both the non-apologizer
and the over-apologizer? Why do the Hebrew and Christian scriptures
encourage making restitution and offering apology for wrongs done to
one’s neighbors, family and friends, and even for transgressions to
one’s God?
We are excited to present an evening on a crucial topic of our time,
discussed by two experts in the field. Jacqui Lewis will speak from
her perspective as pastor, and public theologian and activist and
Harriet Lerner from her perspective as a psychologist and
psychotherapist. We anticipate that the different lenses through
which our presenters view the apology and the subject of forgiveness
will challenge and deepen the conversation for all of us.
