forgiveness
readiness to accept someone in spite of what they have said or done. There is clear expectation from the earliest years of the Christian tradition that this should be done. "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." Whilst no-one is beyond God's forgiveness, this is not an invitation to trespass more and more. It is much more an indication of the opportunity to be transformed, changed by the process of being accepted and accepting.
