Hi Andrew,
I appreciate your take on this course. I think its easy to get overwhelmed by the reality of the past while also seeking to communicate and develop relationships with people who may or may not know more about the past/current situation than we do.
Ignorance of the past can prevent us from upholding Christ’s message of love and redemption and from understanding the mistakes of the past, but as you said, acknowledging our failures can demonstrate Christ’s capacity for forgiveness and redemption.
