Presented by...

Dr. David Weaver-Zercher
Dr. David Weaver-Zercher is professor of American religious history at Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania. Professor Weaver-Zercher has co-authored the book, Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy.  Amish Grace explores the many questions the story of multiple murders in the Amish school in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania raises about the religious beliefs that led the Amish to forgive so quickly. It examines forgiveness and questions if Amish practices parallel or diverge from other religious and secular notions of forgiveness. Dr. Weaver-Zercher will discuss these concepts in light of the mental health issues involved.
