BBC Radio 4 - Lent Talks, Austen Ivereigh

Austen Ivereigh reflects on ending the cycle of conflict by becoming the forgiving victim.

Catholic writer and commentator Austen Ivereigh explores how we can escape the cycle of conflict by becoming a forgiving victim rather than a vengeful one.

This year's Lent Talks sees six well-known figures reflect on different elements of conflict found in the story of Jesus' ministry and Passion from the perspective of their own personal and professional experience.

In the second Lent Talk of the series, Catholic writer and commentator, Austen Ivereigh, explores how we can escape the cycle of conflict by becoming a forgiving victim rather than a vengeful one - whilst at the same time receiving justice.

The Christian season of Lent is traditionally a time for self-examination and reflection on universal human conditions such as temptation, betrayal, abandonment, greed, forgiveness and love. The main theme for this year's talks will explore conflict in different forms and how it interacts with various aspects of society and culture.
