Start or Join a Conversation

Do your daily conversations revolve around politics, family, work, television shows, music? What would it be like to talk with others interested in exploring experiences and expressions of love and forgiveness? What can we learn by sharing these closely held stories? Can we deepen and broaden our understanding of love and forgiveness and how it threads its way throughout all aspects of our lives, by examining these experiences with others? The Campaign for Love & Forgiveness can help you do just that.

The first year of the campaign focused on love with Fetzer Institute-sponsored conversations organized by public television station partners in seven communities around the country. Beginning in September, 2007, these communities began organizing conversations on forgiveness through local schools, institutions and community groups..

Check back for updates on these conversations and other community activities led by the stations and their community partners.
