Postures toward Postcolonial Peace: Repentance, Forgiveness, and Lament

with Al Tizon

Presented for the Stott-Bediako Forum

In Postures toward Postcolonial Peace: Repentance, Forgiveness, and Lament, Al Tizon talks about what it might look like to build peace between perpetrator and victim, as well as on a corporate level. He invites us to consider the role of the church in this important process.

There are many ways you can engage with this topic! You can watch the full plenary session, in which we hear from both Al and Ruth Padilla DeBorst. You can listen to an interview in which Al weaves together his story of rediscovering his own culture during his work in the Philippines with his thoughts on the integration of justice and peacebuilding. You can also watch Al present a summary of his paper or read through his original paper below.
