What ethical lessons does the faithful study of history bring us? Join us for an exploration of what it means to hold our ancestors as people worthy of our love, compassion, and forgiveness, and to imagine new futures together. Taking the Salem Witch Trials as a case study, how can New England History serve to ground us in hope for reconciliation and change? Rosemary will share how she has been moved out of her own disbelief through stories, faith, and radical forgiveness in community.
