The Importance of Forgiveness in Relationships

In your work, Exclusion and Embrace, I think in some ways you recast the vocabulary as a way of recasting what must be done. You propose embrace as a model which I think would incorporate this act of forgiveness that you're describing. Part of the way you do that is by pointing out that in fact we are always in relationship even with our worst enemies. And therefore, then when you start talking about embrace, it is really in a sense recognition that we have been from the start shaped by another.
