95 Theses for Christian Racial & Ethnic Unity: #15


“Forgiveness does not mean ignoring what has been done or putting a false label on an evil act.  It means, rather, that the evil act no longer remains as a barrier to the relationship.  Forgiveness is a catalyst creating the atmosphere necessary for a fresh start and a new beginning.”

Martin Luther King, Jr., “Loving Your Enemies,” Strength to Love (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1981 [1963]), 50.
