God often works outside human expectations, plans, and structures.”

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.”
