Forgiven, a documentary

Harvey Thomas FORGAVE the man who tried to kill him. Harvey was the political advisor of the British prime minister Margareth Thatcher, when he was one of the victims of a bomb attack on the hotel they stayed in Brighton. After years Thomas felt the urge that he should forgive the man who put the bomb in the hotel. It’s a great story about forgiveness and reconciliation.

Forgiven, a documentary

Together with Thomas we traveled to Brighton to talk about the bombing, and about his motivation to meet with Patrick Magee, the man responsible for the bombing. Mr. Thomas told BBC News:

“My sole motive is that after 12 years of praying about it a lot I felt, ‘OK, the Bible says I should forgive as God forgives us and I therefore took that initiative and said yes, I forgive’.”

“Once it’s forgiven then it’s completely forgiven, it’s not forgotten, but it is forgiven.”
