pbs tv 2007, Bill Moyers on Amish grace
October 5, 2007 (http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/10052007/profile4.html)
October 2 marked the one-year anniversary of the shootings in an Amish schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania that left five girls dead and five wounded. Non-Amish observers have expressed surprise at the community's quickness to forgive the murderer — a sentiment the community reiterated in an anniversary statement, a statement which also stressed the community's wish for privacy: "The Amish do not wish publicity for doing what Jesus taught and want to make sure that glory is given to God for that witness...forgiveness is a journey... you need help from your community and from God...to make and hold on to a decision to not become a hostage to hostility. It is understood that hostility destroys community." -- read the full statement, (PDF) http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/10052007/statement.pdf
