We live in frighteningly polarized times. It can sometimes feel as if we’ll never bridge the enormous divides in our societies. But there is hope! In the second session of this two-part Forum, Sylvie Botétémé and Barbara Diggs, the Cathedral’s co-chairs of Becoming Beloved Community, will continue the discussion from June 9th on reconciliation, particularly: How do we define it? What needs to happen before it occurs? To help frame the context of this discussion, we will look at extraordinary examples 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.
