“From this passage [Numbers 11], as well as the Pentecost story, it is clear that God
works in ways that we sometimes do not understand—and surely cannot control.
God often works outside human expectations, plans, and structures.”
Bartholomew, Christine R, "Living by the Word: Mark 9:38-50,
James 5:13-20," The Christian Century, 2009.

“Forgiveness is much more than isolated acts and words of individuals. The capacity to
discover what it means to forgive and be forgiven depends, in part, on the
richness of one's communal practices and disciplines.”
