Robert Downey Jr. Asks for Forgiveness of Mel Gibson

          Tullian Tchividjian shares how he saw some glimpses of God-ly grace when Robert Downey, Jr. (now well-known to the world as Tony Stark/Iron Man), when accepting the American Cinematheque award, thanks Mel Gibson for helping him during his violent addiction to drugs and alcohol and asks that people give Gibson give him the same "clean slate" that Hollywood has given Downey, Jr.
          For those not familiar with the off-camera past and present of Downey, Jr. and Gibson and the rest of the context, the full text of Downey, Jr.'s acceptance speech, and Tchividjian's gleanings, you can read it all here. The video of the speech is available below (Downey, Jr. does good delivery). Enjoy!
