Beyond Forgiving (film)

Beyond Forgiving is a documentary film, which depicts the journey of two South Africans to bring healing and reconciliation to their country post-Apartheid. Ginn Fourie and Letlapa Mphalele form an unlikely pair: a black atheist man and a white Christian woman. One has suffered directly from actions of the other, but both have been victims - and risen beyond their pain. What brings them together is a profound story of tragedy, forgiveness and hope.

Conversation Dinner - ‘The question I would most like to ask God’

This is our by-now-annual informal dinner, at which the planning group traditionally chooses a topic to get the conversation started, though this has never been a problem on previous occasions! The meal provides an opportunity for members to either stay with the topic or tackle whatever they may want to discuss. We sit at tables of six, and there have sometimes been quite serious conversations at one table, while at another there has been much hilarity and fun. But all enjoy the chance to get to know one another better, and to share insights, stories and experiences....

Location:
The Cluny Cente, Braid Road, Edinburgh
