Marty Grundy, author and Friend:
“Of course, we are still human, still flawed, and if our meetings are to be beloved communities we must learn to accept others as they are, not as we want them to be—to accept the opportunity to bear one another’s burdens…. We are reminded that forgiveness is not about justice; it is about healing.”

A prayer from the Iona Community:

May the God of Peace inspire us,
may the God of Justice empower us,
may the God of Hope encourage us
to live the Good News.Go in the power of the Spirit.

Go, and do not try to separate politics and prayer.
Go, not to escape, but to engage with God’s world
Go, to live hopefully, as people of the resurrection.
