Undergraduate Chapel: Spring 2014 [Video] show

Summary: Johann Christof Arnold relates his life experience of being born to German refugees, coming to an American high school after growing up South America, and participating in the civil rights demonstrations of Martin Luther King Jr. He explains that he and his wife, during their time as counselors, became very aware of people's need for forgiveness. In response, Arnold began writing books that relay extraordinary stories of forgiveness that he believes will inspire people to do the same. To close, Hashim Garrett relays his testimony of forgiveness for a firefight that left him paralyzed when he was young.
