Such profound honesty. Thank you for pointing to who and what shaped your foundational understanding of reconciliation. With white, male leaders as the definition shapers, is it any wonder why reconciliation was limited to forgiveness? It occurs to me that this diminished understanding fails to address any power differentials that generate the need for forgiveness. Thus, I wonder if true reconciliation involves an acknowledgment of power’s abuse, a pardoning (as Rebecca speaks to in her post), and a repair…both of the harm done and the difference in power. Thoughts?
