Inspired by Forgiveness | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter | 07.26.2026
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things we are ever asked to do. In this sermon, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter explores the true story of Eric Lomax, a World War II prisoner of war who found an unexpected path to forgiveness decades after enduring unimaginable suffering. His story challenges us to think differently about justice, healing, and what it means to be free.
Drawing on the wisdom of Desmond Tutu and Unitarian Universalist values, Rev. Kanter reminds us that forgiveness isn’t about forgetting or excusing harm. It’s about telling the truth, seeking accountability, and finding a way to move forward without letting pain have the final word.
