Reader Question:

Tuesday August 31, 2004
Hi, my name's Ross Craig, I'm a stand-up comedian based in Edinburgh, Scotland who performs under the stagename/nickname 'Teddy'.

Recently I fell out with a friend. She's very special to me, and this hurt me a lot. I was at fault for some of this. We'd had a slight fall out and she refused to speak to me to sort things out, I should have let things cool, but instead took umbrage and chose to verbally blast her. My apology over this behaviour went unheeded.

I would like to do a festival show based around apologising to her. I'm asking representatives of all faiths to give an opinion on how best to atone, or gain redemption, or seek forgiveness for my actions. I think the world would be a better place if we all learned to say sorry.

The show idea is in its infancy, and my aim is to begin working on it now with a view to performing it at next year's Edinburgh festival.

I hope you can be of help to me in my idea, either in supplying me with an opinion on how your faith would suggest I act, or suggesting other contacts for me to ask.

Thank you for your time.
