CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- The man known as the "Ground Zero Priest" is visiting South Carolina this Martin Luther King Day.

The Rev. Lyndon Harris is in Charleston on Monday to commission a Forgiveness Garden.

Harris was the priest in charge of relief ministries offered through Saint Paul's Chapel at Ground Zero after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center.

He is also executive director of The Garden of Forgiveness.

The nonprofit, interfaith program teaches forgiveness as a way to resolve conflicts. The idea is to create forgiveness gardens in cities around the world.

Harris is also attending a Martin Luther King business breakfast on Tuesday.
