Rev. Johnnie reflects on the lasting wounds caused by harm and asks what genuine healing requires of individuals and communities. Drawing on personal experience, Jewish teachings on repentance and repair, and the wisdom of bell hooks, the sermon explores how truth, accountability, restitution, and compassion can help mend what punishment or forced forgiveness cannot. Together, we are invited to imagine healing not as an isolated act, but as a sacred practice of communion.
