Cathedral Forum | Is Reconciliation Possible?

  • The American Cathedral in Paris 23 Avenue George V Paris, IDF, 75008 France (map)

We live in frighteningly polarized times. It can sometimes feel as if we’ll never bridge the enormous divides in our society. But there is hope! In this Forum, Sylvie Botétémé and Barbara Diggs, co-chairs of Becoming Beloved Community, will discuss reconciliation: What is it? How can we get there? What needs to happen first? To help frame the context of this discussion, we will watch a short video of an extraordinary example of reconcilation between victims and perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide, now living side-by-side in “reconciliation villages.” 

Our Cathedral Forum series provides occasions to discuss topics ranging from politics to spirituality, economics, and literature, with fascinating guest speakers. The Forum seeks to help parishioners deepen their understanding of Christian faith and life, drawing on scripture, reason and tradition to understand its relevance to our lives and to our world, attentive to God's hand in the co-evolution of our world and of our church.

This is a hybrid forum; please join us in the Parish Hall or on Zoom.
