Watch the clip

News footage of the terrorist bombing on 7 July

2005 highlights the number of people who were

killed that day. Among the dead was a young

woman, Jenny. Her mother, Julie Nicholson, was

an ordained priest but quit her position because

she could not forgive the suicide bomber who

murdered her daughter. Julie justifies her stance

by asserting forgiveness depends upon the guilty

party requesting it. The person who killed her

daughter is dead and so there's no relationship to

be restored. She thinks Jenny would want her to

lead a good life and not worry about forgiveness 1. What happened? 2. What is the mother? 3. How does the mother react? 4. Do you agree with Julie?
