An exclusive filmed interview with the mother of Amish schoolhouse shooter Charles Roberts will be screened at Lifetree Caf\u00e9 on April 20th from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
The program, titled \u201cAmazing Grace,\u201d features an interview with Terri Roberts, who was embraced by the Amish community following the tragedy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I pulled up, I asked if my son was alive, and I learned he was not,\u201d Terri Roberts says. \u201cNot only that, but I also learned that he was responsible for the worst crime I had ever heard of in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the program, Lifetree Caf\u00e9 participants will have the opportunity to discuss times they\u2019ve felt shame in their own lives and consider ways they can heal from it.<\/p>\n
