Post-Election Lecture Series: Healing Our Country Through Empathy and Forgiveness

Empathy and forgiveness: Seeing the heart of the enemy as a Servant Leader, with Marleen Ramsey.
Details: Our world, our country, is facing a time of incredible uncertainty and strife, with confrontations and violent clashes happening everywhere we turn. It is a time of intense political division, cultural change, and protests for justice. There is fear and dismay at the injustices we read about and witness in the news. We are appalled and shocked by the actions and behaviors of the everyday person as well as political and religious leaders. How do we bring healing and a measure of peace into the circle around us? Dr. Marleen Ramsey discusses empathy and forgiveness as played out in South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. She will share stories of servant leaders such as Nelson Mandela in understanding the heart of those who seem to be our enemies.
