Theme: Sin and Reconciliation
No human being can live as an individual – no person is self-sufficient. All of humanity is connected in a great web or network of relationships. And we can look at these relationships at four levels:
• the relationship with God
• the relationship with nature
• the relationship with others
• the relationship with self
The beautiful thing about life is that we are always in relationship. This beauty gets diminished when we do things to spoil the beauty. In the past sin has often been seen as an individual act, something that gets me in God’s bad books, and that can be rectified by a confession. Today more than ever we need to recognise that sin damages relationships deeply and to remove sin we have to be committed to restoring healthy relationships.
