P 82 Living Forgiveness: Hospitality and Reconciliation (2000)

£2.77

The historic legacy of the Reformation has left Protestant churches without an acceptable rite of reconciliation of the penitent. And yet the pastoral reality is that many continue with a sense of guilt 'whose burden is intolerable.'

This study looks at the pastoral need for opportunities to express the reality of God's forgiveness, the criteria a rite of reconciliation should satisfy, and what such a rite might look like. It combines biblical rootedness with both sensitivity to tradition and a broad awareness of pastoral ministry.
