Christians are supposed to forgive others as we've been forgiven.
But hearing the call to forgive is different from knowing how to
practice forgiveness at home and in the world. Forgiveness is about
more than the isolated acts and words of individuals. To forgive
and be forgiven, we need communal practices and disciplines for a
way of life that makes for peace. Greg Jones and C?lestin Musekura
describe how churches and communities can cultivate the habits that
make forgiveness possible on a daily basis. Following the Rwandan
genocide, Musekura lost his father and other family members to
revenge killings. But then he heard God tell him to forgive the
killers. The healing power of forgiveness in his own life inspired
him to work for forgiveness and reconciliation across Africa.
Jones, author ofEmbodying Forgiveness, interacts with Musekura's
story to show how people can practice forgiveness not only in
dramatic situations like genocide but also in everyday
circumstances of marriage, family and congregational life. Together
they demonstrate that forgiving and being forgiven are mutually
reciprocating practices that lead to transformation and healing.
