A Message from Canon John Kellogg

Registration is Now Open for Forgiveness Training Weekend


Are you tired of living in a resentful world, a world that:
  • Places a huge value on revenge
  • Confuses revenge and punishment with justice
  • Doesn't know how to find the freedom of forgiveness
  • Has no idea what Jesus meant when he said:
    "Love Your Enemies"
If you said yes to any of these then come and join us in our mission to teach the world to how to forgive.


We are hosting a Forgiveness Training Weekend

Teach Them How to Forgive:
Friday, Sep. 30, 2016

Christ Church Cathedral, New Orleans

This program is designed for clergy, spiritual directors, and therapists who want to learn how to lead a person rapidly and sustainably to a state of forgiveness. 
(6 hrs. CE)





Forgiveness Retreat: Resolving Resentment:
Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016

Trinity Church, New Orleans

This retreat program is designed for people who want or need to learn how to forgive.






You can bring your resentment to either program and leave without it!

Jesus told us to forgive our enemies but he didn't tell us to take a life time to get there.

Too often we have been taught or told that forgiveness is difficult, painful, costly, and will take a long time.

In these programs Dr. Rob Voyle will teach you how to rapidly and sustainably forgive, and set you free from carrying the burden of resentment.


Here is what one participant reported after a single forgiveness session:

"Forty years I´ve been carrying this resentment, had therapy with two psychiatrists about it, and now in just a few minutes it´s gone. It´s like a miracle."



Rob Voyle is the founder of the Clergy Leadership Institute and the Author of
Restoring Hope: Appreciative Strategies for Resolving Grief and Resentment.

Rob writes:

"The misery of resentment is not about what people have done to you in the past, it is about what you are doing to yourself today, in the darkness of what others have done to you in the past. Forgiveness is how we can set ourselves free from both the pain of the past and the misery of resentment."

"And it doesn't have to be long and painful, usually 45 minutes or less, and in most cases it is possible to lead a person to a place of sustainable forgiveness without the leader ever having to know who or what you are forgiving."
