What do you think about this? For you? For us?

“But in order to move forward, there has to be a facing up to the wrongs that have been done; there must be lament. But remaining in lament – saying sorry over and over again – can not in itself make the future better.

Confession is important – a facing up to sin. But even more importance is repentance. The Greek word metanoia translates as a transformative change of heart, an about face – a complete turning around.

There is something here we all can take from this – a collective recognition that things haven’t been as they should have been – whether in the church, other faith communities, or in our nation.

But change is always possible – change that is real and seen and felt.”
