“Remember the gifts of love you have received through the body of Christ. Give thanks for these gifts. Ask the Spirit to bring to mind those failures of love in which you or your congregation have taken part. Confess your sin and the sin of your people. Ask God to forgive you. As in Isaiah’s vision, imagine God’s cleansing as a live coal that touches your lips and body as well as your congregation. Receive the words of grace, ‘your sin is blotted out’ (Isaiah 6.7). In silence, wait before God. Is God asking you to take some healing or reconciling action? How are you called to respond?” (Kropf and Hall, Praying with the Anabaptists)

Matt–I’ve gotten much from your blog, its direct engagement with the faith across cultures and theologies. I’d like to send you a copy of my recent book, but would need an address to send it. I’m a writer on many borders now residing in Taipei. If you get me an address, I’ll get the book in the mail. I’m at inthemargins03@hotmail.com
