Restoring the Offender: What can the Community of Faith Do?

2 Corinthians 5:17-20

Listen to the sermon.

The silence of the church regarding domestic violence is done in collusion with the perpetrators of the violence.  Refusing to be silent leads to an acceptance of the truth.  The path to restoration is hard work that creates a new person in a new relationship with themselves, Christ, and the faith community.
