"Forgiveness in this context is not saying its okay for other people to hurt us. It’s not
letting bad people off the hook. Forgiveness in the context of Christian faith is an act of
imagination.
It is trusting that we can imagine a future that is not controlled by the past. And it is the
belief that every time we choose to forgive a new beginning is possible."
