Forgiving Terror

November, 2008, a group of Virginians travel to India on a kind of spiritual pilgrimage... only to be caught in the middle of horrific terrorist attacks.

Afterward, the world is startled to hear these victims of terror talking about their forgiveness of, and compassion for, those who attacked them.

Now the group's leader has written a book about the experience.

Guest:
Charles Cannon - Founder and leader of the Nelson County, Virginia based Synchronicity Foundation for Modern Spirituality. Author of Forgiving the Unforgivable: The True Story of How Survivors of the Mumbai Terrorist Attack Answered Hatred with Compassion [Select Books, 2012].

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
