Greetings dear Chris,
No, i did not know of them before your pointer. Thank you very much for
it. I studied their website. I noticed that they will hold a workshop
during 19 - 21 September 2003.
I wonder which speakers they would invite for it. They invited 30
speakers, but not even one of them is from South Africa which had the
biggest success ever in the world's entire history with a truth,
reconciliation and forgiveness proram. I was very dissapointed (yet not
negative). I had the opportunity to listen the past few years to talks
given by several commissars of our own Truth and Reconciliation Commission
(TRC). What they each had to say in terms of their daily experiences in
the TRC hearnings were absolutely breathtaking. Furthermore, as a result
of these hearings, their own outlook on human life have changed vastly.
So, when i say that it is great pity that South Africans from the TRC were
not invited to speak on the workshop, it is not because of patriotism, but
because those attending the workshop will miss very much.

If you manage to attend the workshop, please take some notes and inform us
what you found valuable to learn. Thank you very much.
With care and best wishes
