Forgiveness is often presented as a personal virtue or spiritual mandate—but when viewed through the lens of history, trauma, and social justice, it becomes clear that forgiveness is also deeply political. This half-day symposium brings together faith leaders, scholars, and community voices to examine how forgiveness is shaped by power, identity, and public expectation.

The Politics of Forgiveness: Justice, Memory, and Repair will explore the ways forgiveness has been demanded of marginalized communities without acknowledgment of harm, accountability, or meaningful repair. Through keynote remarks, interfaith panel discussions, and facilitated dialogue, participants will reflect on the complex intersection of mercy, justice, and healing.

Light refreshments will be served
