In Memorium… Nelson Mandela

The Center for Interreligious Understanding joins all people of goodwill in mourning the death of Nelson Mandela.  One of the truly Great Souls, he leaves the world a better place because of who he was and what he did during his life. His life embodied the highest ideals of humanity and of the great religious traditions of the human family.  He invited us to imagine and create a world where forgiveness quells the fires of vengeance and hatred. His life called us to work for a world where justice and peace are honored in word and in deed. May his life inspire us towards greater forgiveness, peacemaking and justice.
