Education for Sadbhav

The session on “Healing Through Forgiveness: Building Bridges in Interreligious Dialogue” conducted by Fr. Elvis Fernandes was deeply insightful and emotionally moving. It provided us with a fresh perspective on how forgiveness is a shared spiritual value across various religions and how it can serve as a powerful tool for healing within our communities. The real-life examples and reflective moments helped us connect personally with the message. Fr. Elvis’s approach was both inclusive and compassionate, encouraging open-mindedness and empathy.

One key takeaway that resonated with many of us was the idea that the more you hold on to pain, the heavier it feels. This message was clearly conveyed and deeply impactful. The session further fostered a genuine atmosphere of respect, peace, and mutual understanding.
