This past week has been a difficult one for people of liberal religion. We held many vigils around the country, and our local communities of faith stood in solidarity beside us.
Now we ask, “When it is too soon to forgive?” As we begin this church year and look to the year ahead, “a year to remember” as my original sermon title suggested, what will we remember? — for this year will never be forgotten having begun with such heartache. I hope we remember it as the year we were able to forgive an unspeakable act of violence, a world gone mad with intolerance, even ourselves for the seeds of anger we posses. May this year be remembered because we forgave and found the courage to build again.

This sermon was especially meaningful to me, thank you.
