The students who signed up for Institute today experienced a day of reflection on forgiveness. In the morning we watched a captivating documentary, As We Forgive, as two Rwandans attempted to come together to forgive each other after one of them had murdered a woman's family during the 1994 genocide.
Then in the afternoon we took a hike up the mountain above camp to discuss the movie and reflect on the struggle to forgive in our own lives. We wrestled with Jesus' teachings to forgive others 70 times 7. We realized how foolish it is to harbor anger and bitterness in little disagreements especially after witnessing a woman forgive a man who had murdered and destroyed her entire family.
It was a powerful discussion for all of us. Enjoy the pics of some of us soaking up the view from where we had our discussion.
