I just discovered that Ormande Plater has a blog. Deacon Plater is a deacon in the Episcopal Church and has done much to bring back the diaconate to its rightful place as one of the orders of ordained ministry. His most recent entry is on reconciliation, something we all should live into more. Check it out.

Welcome!
These are my thoughts and musings about whatever I'm thinking. They're mostly for me, but you may find them entertaining or enlightening - or not! I tend to organize my life around the Feasts and Fasts of the Church, hence the title, Proper of the Day.

That is an interesting blog, thanks for pointing it out.
I am a descendant. I am not aware of the sordid past of my forebears. To whom am I expected to acknowledge the sins of my fathers and for how long? If back in 1911 my grandfather stole five horses from your grandfather what should you receive? What would be even symbolic compensation? And how am I supposed to even know his sins of two generations past?
Doesn’t Bishop Tutu sound a lot like your mother? “Shake hands and make up!” “Tell your sister you’re sorry.” Yeah, right.
Perhaps Christ knew a bit about anguish. Did He seek to rid us of it? Some believe that He did through the promotion of love. When He said to love your enemies, was he talking about your enemy’s benefit, or yours?
Sought or unsought, forgiveness is the gateway to a better future.
However, if you choose to allow the past of your forefathers to influence your life of today you are wasting God's present and no apology, real or symbolic, will change that.
