I forgive you. Three simple words behind which sits an intriguing and complex concept. These words can be used to absolve a meaningless squabble or said to someone who has caused you great harm. They can liberate you from guilt, or consciously place blame on your shoulders. Forgiveness can often be perceived as saccharine and overtly religious, something just for the spiritually superior or mentally strong. But really it is a gritty, risky concept that is so often relevant to our ordinary everyday lives. Forgiveness explores the subject from every angle, coming from a place of enquiry rather than persuasion, presenting it as an offering, never a prescription. Marina Cantacuzino seeks to investigate, unpick and debate the limits and possibilities of forgiveness – in our relationships, for our physical and mental wellbeing, how it plays out in international politics and within the criminal justice system, and where it intersects with religious faith. Cantacuzino speaks to people across the globe who have considered forgiveness in different forms and circumstances. She talks to a survivor of Auschwitz; to someone who accidentally killed a friend; to people who have lost loved ones in acts of violence; to a former combatant in The Troubles as well as to the daughter of someone he murdered. Through these real stories, expert opinion and the author's experience from two decades working in this field, the reader gets to better understand what forgiveness is and what it most definitely isn't, how it can be an important element in breaking the cycle of suffering, and ultimately how it might help transform fractured relationships and mend broken hearts. Marina Cantacuzino's background is in journalism. Her work has appeared in most mainstream publications in the UK, plus many magazines both home and abroad. Having co-authored several books on subjects close to her heart, from HIV to disability, she is also a regular blog contributor to The Huffington Post. In 2003, in response to escalating global conflict, Marina embarked on a very personal project collecting stories in words and pictures from people who had lived through violence, tragedy or injustice and sought forgiveness or reconciliation rather than retaliation or revenge. From this she created 'The F Word' exhibition: a collection of images and personal narratives from around the world exploring forgiveness and understanding in the face of atrocity. The success of the exhibition, which launched in London in 2004, led to Marina founding The Forgiveness Project.

Marina Cantacuzino is a British journalist and storyteller, she is the founder of The Forgiveness Project and discusses with me the power and process of forgiveness in the face of tragedy and injustice. How do we restore those who have been imprisoned for crimes against humanity? What does the bible say about forgiving those who have committed sin against the community? Forgiveness is at the very heart of who we are in the Christian faith, but do we really forgive each other or do we hold fast to shame? https://www.theforgivenessproject.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The idea of talking to someone who's caused us immense pain is always hard, and sometimes impossible, to imagine. But people like Marina Cantacuzino and Jo Berry are proving that well-handled conversations can lead to not just to reconciliation, but to transformation. In this episode we ask them about their approach. Marina is the founder of The Forgiveness Project, which gives a voice to survivors and perpetrators of crime and conflict who have rebuilt their lives following hurt and trauma. Jo is best known for her work on reconciliation with Pat Magee, the former IRA member who in 1984 planted the bomb at the Grand Hotel in Brighton that killed her father, Sir Anthony Berry MP.

Anger is an empowering emotion, nothing is wrong with it. The danger with Anger is when it goes on for too long. ~ Marina Catacuzino  Marina started the Forgiveness Project out of anger during the time of the Iraq War.  Her passion to bring peace through this practice of forgiveness is compelling and transformational.    In this episode you will learn how forgiveness  . . . .  Is being at peace with your past  Reconciling with your pain  Creates compassion towards other  Causes curiosity respect and empathy  Is done through our actions vs words  Unconditional and conditional  Loving the failing aspects of humanity How we relate to the world on a deep level  At the very beginning of this episode, Marina share two inspiring quotes:  Anger is a catalyst. Holding on to it will make us exhausted and sick.

After many years of keeping quiet after a gang rape aged 13 where she was left for dead, Madeleine Black decided in September 2014, to share her story on The Forgiveness Project’s website and she completely underestimated what the response would be. She is the author of Unbroken and talks to Ed Andrew about her journey now to help anyone find their voice and not die with shame and trauma caused by someone else. In March 2015, Jessica Kingsley Publishers released a book called The Forgiveness Project: Stories for a Vengeful Age, by Marina Cantacuzino. It’s a collection of 40 stories from the TFP website, including hers and has forewords by Desmond Tutu and Alexander McCall Smith. She has taken part in a film interview for a documentary about rape and the anonymity laws, which will be shown on Dispatches, Channel 4 and has been interviewed for STV News. In December 2015 she gave her first public talk at a Festival of Light at the University of Keele. The theme was “Making Peace with the Enemy”. From that night she was asked to give three more talks on the same theme and has spoken at many other events too. She has been interviewed by Dan Walker on BBC Radio 5 Live and talked about Forgiveness and Health, which led to interviews with Stephen Jardine on BBC Radio Scotland sharing her story and most recently with Sir Trevor McDonald on BBC Radio 4 talking about Redemption. Her voice has been weaved into a performance called Foreign Body Play by Imogen Butler-Cole and has taken part in questions and answers after the show which will be taken to Edinburgh Festival next year.   She has certainly felt the power and healing effects in sharing her story and hopes that her book will help other victims of sexual violence, crime, PTSD, and anyone who has struggled with forgiveness. She wants to spread her message: It’s not what happens to us that is important, but what we do with what happens to us and if we choose to, we can get past anything that happens to us in life.

Are there human acts that are un-forgivable? Perhaps, but as human beings, some of us are able to find a way to forgive the person or people who have hurt us. Marina Cantacuzino's mission is to collect the narratives of people facing unspeakable difficulties who have moved towards reconciliation and peace; people on the opposite sides of war, or murder, or hate crimes. Then there are those who have committed these acts engaging in the attempt to forgive themselves and to dedicate themselves to restoring what they previously wanted to destroy. What is forgiveness? What leads us in that direction? How can we turn our torments and our losses into something redeeming? What stands in the way? If we don't forgive, can we find peace?

10 years ago Marina Cantacuzino began to interview people who had suffered all sorts of trauma, abuse and wrongdoing, but who instead of choosing vengeance chose forgiveness.  It's easy as Christians to think that we've cornered the market on forgiveness, but listening to these stories from people from a range of faith traditions and none is deeply challenging and inspiring.  So we asked Marina to share the wisdom she's gained from working on The Forgiveness Project.  If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter If you're looking for other people to share this journey with, then register on our Listener Map, and see if any other nomads are in your area.  Nomad can only keep going because a small group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.

The Forgivenss Project, Marina Cantacuzino…inspiring and frustrating.   Scott Taylor, Navy Seal, worries about the US sacrifice in Iraq being wasted.  OPSEC.  He wants Iowan to be very careful who we select as the next Commander in Chief.   Then, anIowa judge sends home a murder jury cuz they aren’t diverse enough.  Iowans are appalled.
