Forgiving and Reconciling:
A Psychologist Looks at
Christian Theology and Scientific Research

Friends:

Dr. Everett Worthington of Virginia Commonwealth University gave a stimulating presentation on the latest research from Psychology on Forgiving and Reconciling this past Saturday at WTU. This was the finale in of a series of presentations--in the Monthly Friday meetings and in the public lectures--on forgiveness from a scientific point of view.

The room was filled with folks from the Consortium and from science and religion groups in our region. The discussion had to be ended--but continued dowstairs at lunch.

Dr. Worthington is a Christian--so he also presented some convergences between recent studies and Christian practice/belief. All in all a fascinating morning.

Peace,
John
