To say that culture forgives a lot would be to concede too much. Scripture tells us that a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. Jesus was meek and also said it as he saw it, not sparing the blushes of the rulers of his age.

This bears contemplation as we listen. Beautiful hymnody, liberating theology; is it nothing in view of the man and his gutter language and hateful ideas that fuelled genocide. And yet from this root came Bonhoeffer.

How much are you prepared to forgive?
