“Journey of Forgiveness”, a Quiet Day with the Rev. Ruth Patterson

The day will start at 12 noon and conclude by 3.45pm. Coffee and tea will be provided, but participants need to bring their own lunch.

“Throughout our day together we will reflect on the process or the journey of forgiveness, enter into some practical exercises and, then, recognising that forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same, we will move into a workshop based on Psalm 85:10 that will help us identify what is necessary in order for reconciliation to take place.”

All are welcome to attend, and participants from other dioceses are invited to come too.
