SUMMARY:Service: Forgive (But Not Yet?)
DESCRIPTION:Hosea Ballou\, who inspired the first Universalists in Nova Scotia\, believed in a complete and loving forgiveness for all wrongdoing – but only after just retribution. His cousin Adin Ballou\, who inspired Leo Tolstoy (and then Gandhi) believed instead in an immediate forgiveness. What do you yourself need\, in order to feel a satisfactory reconciliation?
