This Really Is Remarkable

Unread post

You'll remember the mass shooting 10 years ago almost to the day in Pennsylvania Amish country. There was a report right after the event of the Amish people's immediate forgiveness of the killer of five young schoolgirls. This Washington Post account of the history since the massacre shows that for the Amish community, forgiveness was not just words to be said one time.
