The Millennial Star

Could you forgive the killer?

The mother of one of the 50 people killed by Islamist fanatics in the London suicide bombings has had to resign as a vicar because she cannot forgive the assassin responsible for her daughter’s death. Her feelings of rage are not compatible with her position as an Anglican vicar, she says. I’m not sure how I would feel in her shoes — can anybody say for sure they would be able to forgive their daughter’s killers? I’d like to think I would act with Christ-like forgiveness, but I simply don’t know. What do you all think?
