The Cast Is Like a Cast on a Broken Arm

If i'm the one that's repenting, i cannot forgive myself. I cannot dictate the terms beyond that. But i must be surrounded by a group of men and women who accept the responsibility to oversee the working out of my repentance. Sats a communal process. And you know, when you hear about someone who just takes this on their own back, you say to yourself, that just can't be right. M this is a place where the church is to be in motion, lovingly with each other.
