Voice of the Day: Forgiveness within the Church

Unfortunately, though we often talk about forgiveness within the church, very often by the way we deal with things-attempting to suppress conflict, not making judgments, keeping things secret, not enforcing the ethical conditions we talk about, not holding the powerful accountable-we actually create a situation that stops people from being able to forgive.
