Forgiveness and Reconciliation in the Extreme: Father Ubald Rugirangoga at TEDxJacksonHole

Father Ubald survived the 1994 Rwandan genocide of the Tutsi people where one million people were killed in 90 days. He lost 80 members of his own family and 45,000 of his congregation. He is renowned for bringing healing, forgiveness, peace, and reconciliation to all people in Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and beyond.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

My husband and I met him recently. We love him! He's walking his way to sainthood. Blessed be God!

Fr U shows by his own example the Way of JESUS to heal the worst atrocities through forgiveness. Much needed in our world of hate and division. Love, Peace, and Joy of Christ

Thank you. 💝

[@sissylewis6070]

Thank you for showing us how forgiveness is done but could you explain your thought processes. I can’t figure out how to think about perpetrators in order to get to a place of forgiving even when I truly want to forgive. Can you please help?
