Recent Lectures: 'Forgiveness'
In the Autumn of 1984 a bomb at the Grand Hotel in Brighton targeted Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet during the Conservative Party Conference. Five people were killed, among them the MP Sir Anthony Berry; many more were injured.
Patrick Magee (the bomber) and Sir Anthony's daughter Jo Berry shared a platform in February to discuss 'Forgiveness'
Patrick Magee, who prepared and planted the bomb, was described by the judge at his trial as 'a man of exceptional cruelty and inhumanity', and told he would serve a minimum of 35 years in prison. The Good Friday Agreement meant he was released after 14.
He now shared a platform with Jo Berry, Sir Anthony's daughter, who became convinced some years ago that despite the misgivings of some of those close to her, she needed to meet the man who had brought such grief to her family.
Monday at 12 noon from September 21st in Caerleon Multi-Faith Prayer room.
