Repentance

July 1, 2016: Living Theology: 4 Dynamics of Repentance 

Repentance allows the whole of creation to have another chance. The act of true repentance holds out the possibility, maybe even the promise, that individuals and whole communities can be renewed, can mend what we have broken, can find what appeared to be completely lost, can build a bridge to that which seems permanently severed, can re-member and restore the dismembered garment of shared life. 
--Christine Smith, in “Repentance: Hope for the World”
