“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”

"Forgive and forget", the new American catchphrase. To me, this seems like the easiest route in solving this problem. But can we really forgive and forget at the same time?

Amen.
