9: Called To Forgive

How do you forgive someone who has murdered your spouse and isn’t sorry about it? Anthony Thompson’s wife, Myra, was one of nine victims shot and killed on June 17, 2015 at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC. The shooter purposefully targeted African-Americans in hopes of starting a race war. But when Anthony Thompson and other family members of the victims faced the shooter, it wasn’t hate, but love and forgiveness that won the day.
