The Sisters of Sion in the UK / Ireland Region met in the Centre last week for three days of reflection on the them of Mercy, Reconcilliation and Forgiveness.  We were led by Jonathan Gorsky, lecturer in Jewish studies at Heythrop College and Chris Lubbe who was a body guard for Nelson Mandela.  We were very inspired by their sharing on the challenging subjects of reconciliation and forgiveness, and the place of mercy.

AS I walked out of the door toward the gate that would lead for freedom, I knew that if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I would still be in prison . (Nelson Mandela)
