Print version

Some national political leaders have taken to making apologies on behalf of historical wrongs done.

British Prime Minster Gordon Brown recently apologised to British children who were forceably taken from their parents and sent to Australia. Meanwhile, Australian PM Kevin Rudd apologised last year for his nation's treatment of the Aboriginal people.

Is all this apologising a healthy development?

During a recent visit to Manchester, UK, Mal Fletcher was interviewed on the subject by BBC Radio's Mike Shaft.

Just wanted to thank you for your fantastic talks at Faith Camp. I've been going for years and have heard many speakers. I found you very refreshing from the "norm", whilst highly entertaining. Your TV programmes helped my wife in her early development as a Christian.
