Rev. Jay McCormick led this group discussion with this month’s movie, Gandhi, starring Ben Kingsley, the beloved Indian leader who stood against British rule over his country. Gandhi was dedicated to the concept of nonviolent resistance. Mahatma Gandhi remains a dimly understood historical figure. A lot of us know he was a great Indian leader without quite knowing why and such is our ignorance of Eastern history and culture we may not fully realize that his movement did indeed liberate India, in one of the greatest political and economic victories of all time, achieved through nonviolent principles. This film reminds us that we are capable of the most extraordinary and wonderful achievements, simply through the use of our imagination, our will, and our sense of right.
