"The sacrament of reconciliation, which is in our Book of Common Prayer, offers the penitent, the opportunity to confess the sin of things done and things left undone as well as my personal favorite "all the other sins which I cannot now remember." It is a rich service in which we bring our troubles to the table placing them there to be healed by God. It’s not about casting blame or suffering from ill placed guilt, it is about coming back to the God who loves us, the God who is there for us, the God who wants us to live life to the fullest, and the God who wants us to be a part of a reconciled world, and not just a part but a leader." From a sermon by the Rev. Dorian McGlannan. Read the entire sermon here.
