Sharing in the Ministry of Forgiveness - a way of Engaging the Church

— filed under:

The following thoughts are basically my reflections on forgiveness. These reflections are drawn from my experience of the 2000 coup in Fiji and the work of my wife and me (my wife especially) with those people living with HIV and AIDS, whose questions about life and faith not only speak about rejection and hatred but also about learning to forgive and be forgiven. I hope that these reflections will resonate with your experiences of working with prisoners and their families in the various countries you come from.

What is restorative justice?

Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders.

Practices and programs reflecting restorative purposes will respond to crime by: (a) identifying and taking steps to repair harm, (b) involving all  stakeholders, and (c) transforming the traditional relationship between communities and their governments in responding to crime. more
