Does he address forgiveness in the context of criminal justice?

There is much on restorative justice (forgiveness and justice in situations where violence has been done) online if you google it. I know there are a few theologians at the Conflict Transformation program at Eastern Mennonite University who talk about restorative justice and forgiveness, even when it comes to international conflict resolution.
This is such a needed conversation worldwide! We need to become much more creative in solving conflicts– personally, in groups, nationally and internationally.

The Australian Government has made two formal apologies in the past 2 years. The first, in Feb 2008, was to “the Stolen Generation”, Aboriginal children who were separated from their families and forced to live on missions (more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Generations and http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23206140-2,00.html ). The second apology, made earlier this week, was to 500,000 “Forgotten Australians” – children taken from their parents in the United Kingdom and Malta brought to Australia, taken to boarding houses and farms, where much abuse took place (more info: http://www.forgottenaustralians.org.au/ and http://au.christiantoday.com/article/australia-apologises-for-abuse-of-child-migrants-from-britain/7233.htm ).
The main sticking point now is not the apologies, though there are dissenters, but the issue of reparation. See http://au.christiantoday.com/article/peter-adam-urges-recompense-for-indigenous-injustice/6830.htm and http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2009/s2744335.htm

John

A fine, fine read is:
Miraslov Volf’s Giving and Forgiving (see <a href="my review)
and
Chris Brauns’s Unpacking Forgiveness (see my review).
Volf’s is likely to provide more in terms of applying forgiveness to groups and in a non-church setting, but Brauns is not to be ingnored!
