Forgiveness is not forgetting but facing history

Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. Jesus' act of forgiveness towards Pontius Pilate on the cross highlights the importance of not forgetting our history and past. Naming Pontius Pilate in the Creed serves as an invitation to reimagine healing as embracing our history in God's grace, rather than ignoring it. Facing our history is key to the process of forgiveness and healing.
