Have you ever considered what might be possible if forgiveness became an even more intentional part of your church community or ministry organisation? If you lead a church community or ministry organisation, we invite you to apply for a one-day workshop in Pretoria (Gauteng, South Africa) designed to support your journey with forgiveness and equip you to strengthen forgiveness in your community or organisation. This workshop is brought to you by the Global Forgiveness Movement, coordinated by the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University. It will be facilitated by Dr Richard Cowden and Dr Shaun Joynt, both of whom are involved in the Global Forgiveness Movement. Apply here: https://forms.gle/iTEN9AGkSTa4poqG7 by 4th October 2026.
