This seems like an odd thing for a governor to do. Kind of preacher-like, but Brownback is a pretty religious fellow. The next thing we know he'll be hiring Depok Chopra to spiritually advise us. More seriously, I agree with Brownback's sentiments on this and think the world would be a much better place if we followed this calling to heal human resentments. Of course it takes two to fully reconcile, although one person can reconcile their own feelings toward somebody, even if the other person remains estranged or resentful.
Wouldn't be a bad thing if the politicians in D.C. heeded this calling .....
Kan. governor proclaims 'Week of Reconciliation'
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback is calling on Kansans to seek and bestow forgiveness for past failures and wrongs as the holiday season approaches.
Brownback issued a proclamation Thursday declaring "A Week of Reconciliation" that runs through next Wednesday — the day before Thanksgiving.
The governor's proclamation describes reconciliation as "a powerful concept and tool in improving human relations." Brownback urges all citizens to contact anyone from whom they're estranged to be reconciled — "even if the other person has done most of the wrong."
