AN internationally acclaimed photography exhibition, The F Word: Images of Forgiveness, is coming to Blackburn Cathedral.

The F Word was first launched in London in 2004 and has since been displayed in more than 300 venues worldwide.

It is described as “a thought-provoking collection of arresting images and personal narratives exploring forgiveness in the face of atrocity”.

Drawing together voices from South Africa, the USA, Israel, Palestine, Northern Ireland and England, it examines forgiveness as a healing process, a journey out of victimhood and a journey in hope.

It was produced by The Forgiveness Project, a UK-based charitable organisation, which explores forgiveness, reconciliation and conflict resolution through real-life human experience.

The organisation works in prisons, schools, faith communities and with any group wishing to explore the nature of forgiveness, whether in the wider political context or within their own lives.

The forgiveness project will run from Monday, February 8 to March 8 in a presentation by 'exchange', the cathedral's community cohesion and interfaith development agency.

* The F Word exhibition is on display in Blackburn Cathedral's south transept from Monday, February 8 until Monday, March 8 during normal cathedral opening hours. Admission is free.
