Description

The Arch of ForgivenessKenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.This discussion drew its inspiration from the image of an arch immortalized by D.H. Lawrence in his novel The Rainbow. As the child in the story was freed to live her life framed by the pillars of love and strength represented by her parents, so Jesus asks us to view our daily lives as framed between the pillars of forgiveness, allowing its quiet strength and gentle protection to nourish our experience and sustain our learning. We thus grow in our recognition of the contrast between life under the arch of his love and life outside it.CONTENTSDisc 11. Introduction2. I am the light of the world. (W-pI.61.6)3.
