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?
The topic we will be chewing on, from a humanist point of view, is the pluses and minuses of Artificial Intelligence. AI affects our lives in so many ways. All are welcome to join in the discussion. 3rd Sunday of the month, after the service.
