Whatever the reasons, when forgiveness happens it is always a miracle of grace. The obstacles in its way are immense

If no one remembers a misdeed or names it publically, it remains invisible. To the observer, its victim is not a victim and its perpetrator is not a perpetrator; both are misperceived because the suffering of the one and the violence of the other go unseen. A double injustice occurs-the first when the original deed is done and the second when it disappears.

The goal of pursuit of justice must not simply be that justice happens but that reconciliation also happens.

Forgiveness flounders because I exclude the enemy from the community of humans and myself from the community of sinners.

Does a person have a right to change his or her own religion? This is a fundamental human right, just like a right to freedom of speech.

There is no greater mystery to me than that of light traveling through darkness.

Christ came to transform us from never enough people - to more than enough people; that through his poverty we may become rich.
