Forgiveness

"Hardness of heart keeps us from the reality of the gospel—not only in our relationship with God, but ultimately in our relationship with others. It is so important for us to remember that Jesus came that we might be reconciled. Reconciled to God and indeed reconciled to one another." 

This week's message from Bishop Alex reminds us of the importance of forgiveness to our relationships with God and one another.

The other day I was praying Morning Prayer and came to the recitation of the Apostles’ Creed. As is often the case with those regular and well-known words, something jumped out at me: “I believe… in the forgiveness of sins.”

But do I? So many of us assent to this verbally but live something very different practically.
