We are pleased to have Professor Everett Worthington, PhD, join us as our distinguished speaker for our first autumn conference. Everett will give two lectures during the day, one covering basic concepts of forgiveness as a stress-and-coping model and the role of religion in the model, and a second covering application of the forgiveness stress-and-coping model to three areas: forgiveness and justice; self-forgiveness; and forgiveness and marriage. Everett is Professor of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University and is a licensed clinical psychologist in Virginia. He has published over 20 books and 200 articles and scholarly chapters, mostly on forgiveness, marriage, and family topics. He has four new books, Handbook of Forgiveness (Brunner Routledge, 2005, August), a collection of reviews of research from the top researchers in the world; Forgiving and Reconciling: Bridges to Wholeness and Hope (InterVarsity Press, 2003), a Christian-oriented account of his own method of helping people forgive; The Power of Forgiveness (forthcoming in October, 2005, Templeton Foundation Press) a collection of quotes on forgiveness within a narrated essay on finding the treasure of forgiveness in the ruins of relationships; and a revised edition of Hope-focused Marriage Counseling (InterVarsity Press, 2005). He has directed A Campaign for Forgiveness Research, a non-profit organization that supports research into forgiving and works to build a field of studying forgiveness scientifically. Everett tries to be a bridge-builder between Christian and secular, academic and lay, research and practice communities.
