For Christians, who believe they are created in the image of God, it is the Godhead, diversity in unity and the three-in-oneness of God, which we and all creation reflect.

If forgiving depended on the culprit owning up, then the victim would always be at the mercy of the perpetrator. The victim would be bound in the shackles of victimhood.

Men and boys, we show our manhood through the way we treat our women. Our wives, our sisters, our mothers.

When people decide they want to be free, there is nothing that can stop them.

God wants to set the oppressed free from being oppressed and the oppressors free from oppressing.

Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. Forgiving means abandoning your right to pay back the perpetrator in his own coin.

When you think of the sort of things that happen when a genocide happens, it's again not people who are intrinsically evil.
