28th June 2008
For those who have never been to Corrymeela and for those who can’t wait to come back.
A day of celebration, fun and learning.
With special guest speaker Donald W Shriver Jr., one of the world’s leading experts on citizenship. He has written on the Holocaust, Apartheid, the Civil Rights movement in America, and is the author of An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics and Honest Patriots: Loving a Country Enough to Remember its Misdeeds. Shriver argues that “once we have learned the discipline of forgiveness for the harms we inflict, we will experience, with our enemies, a new increment of hope that neither strangeness nor enmity is forever.”
