2. SEBTS Chapel - Donna M. Forrester August 24, 1988

- Donna M. Forrester was the Chaplain at SEBTS. Forrester is announced as the chapel speaker (0:00-0:27). An opening hymn is played (0:08-2:51). A male soloist sings (2:52-3:51). Scripture reading is provided from Isaiah 40:28-31 and Romans 12:9-21 (3:52-6:06). Concerns and celebratory topics are addressed (6:07-7:42). A word of prayer is given (7:43-8:45). Forrester speaks of the destruction of Coventry Cathedral and the city where it is located that occurred during World War II (8:46-13:04). The city was at a crossroads: it could respond with vengeance or forgiveness (13:04-14:16). She explains that the rhythm of Christian faith is crucifixion, forgiveness, and resurrection (14:17-14:25). She then returns to the story of Coventry Cathedral with a recount of the creation of two crosses at the site of destruction (14:26-15:35). The crosses were eventually placed in the newly rebuilt cathedral with the words, “Father, forgive,” inscribed on one of them (15:36-16:11). Now, the new cathedral is growing as an example of love being triumphant (16:12-17:08). Forrester speaks of how Calvary became more real to her after seeing the cathedral during her trip to Coventry, England (17:09-19:15). She then asks how did Jesus forgive and what does it take to forgive? (19:16-20:09). She explains that anger, bitterness, and hopelessness characterize one who does not forgive (20:10-23:36). Since we have been shown love and grace, we should show this kind of love to others through forgiveness (23:37-25:50). Forrester states that “forgiveness restores integrity and freedom to oneself and one’s relationships to others and to God” (25:51-26:30). We need to discover who in our lives needs to be forgiven (26:31-27:17). She discusses that it is our need and command to forgive as it restores relationships, frees us to end relationships, and reconciles us to God (27:18-28:14). When we forgive, we can know that we too are forgiven (28:15-28:34). Forrester concludes with a prayer (28:35-29:20). Another song is sung (29:21-32:50). The congregation recites a litany of forgiveness (32:51-35:41). The event ends with another song (35:42-36:34).
